An Ultra-Rare Sencha Few Have Ever Experienced

An ultra-rare, top-grade sencha—

so rare that even in Japan, very few people have ever tasted it.

This is Temomi-cha—hand-rolled tea.


Crafted by Hand, Over Hours

Each leaf is carefully rolled by hand over the course of nearly eight hours.

A level of craftsmanship no machine can replicate.


Award-Winning, Globally Recognized

In 2025, this tea received the Grand Gold Prize at the World Green Tea Contest, and has also been recognized in Paris.

Temomi-cha represents the highest level of traditional Japanese tea craftsmanship—a method so rare that it is still used for tea presented to the Emperor of Japan.


Exceptionally Limited

Today, Phenimax is the only brand offering authentic temomi-cha in the United States.

A truly one-of-a-kind cup.

The Truth About “Uji Tea”

Many teas labeled “Uji” are blended with leaves from other regions.

So even if it says “Uji,” it does not always mean 100% Kyoto-grown.


The PHENIMAX Standard

• 100% Japan-grown tea only

• Clearly labeled origin

• Uji always means 100% Kyoto-grown
