"Tencha" refers to the tea leaves that are ground into fine-powdered "matcha". The average price of tencha-type crude tea leaves produced in 2025 in Japan exceeded Japanese yen per kilogram, a significant jump compared to the previous year. This made it by far the green tea type with the highest unit price, impacted by rising production costs and overseas demand amid a lasting matcha boom.
The price of crude green tea in Japan is influenced by the type, the harvest season, and the quality of tea leaves, with the young leaves of the first harvest of a year commonly reaching a higher price point. Furthermore, tencha tea leaves are covered with straw mats for several weeks before harvests.
