Temomicha retains the original form of leaf

The leaves on the left are average sencha, and the leaves on the right are temomicha (manual kneaded tea) I made. The dry leaves look different, but leaves after brewing are also different.



The average sencha leaves are broken and small. On the other hand, the temomicha leaves retain the original form of leaf. Isn’t it interesting? This temomicha is made by beginners, so some leaves are broken. The temomicha made by masters will retain more beautiful original form. I believe that brings out the pure profound flavor of green tea.
