Konacha (Japanese粉 茶) is a Japanese green tea, which consists of tea dust and tiny particles of tea leaves, which are filtered out during processing Gyokuro or Sencha. As the tiny particles very well pass through a tea strainer, the tea a strong green color and has an intense flavor. As Agari (Japanese上がり, a special name for green tea, which is served in sushi restaurants) is typically used Konacha.
