Tencha are the names of the leaves that are ground to make matcha. Mimoto refers to the larger and heavier parts of the leaf that are usually removed before grinding the leaves. Because Tencha is made up of the large leaves of the tea plant, they tend to have a longer shelf life and a slower oxidation rate than match powder. 

Tencha leaves are grown in the shade in the days up to the harvest, similar to Gyokuro. The leaves are then steamed and dried without rolling. The resulting tea leaves have high levels of Theanine and has a rich, sweet and umami flavor. There is little astringency and few grassy notes.
