This exquisite matcha begins with tea plants grown under shade—carefully covered with reed screens to protect them from direct sunlight. This gentle method enhances the natural theanine in the leaves, creating a rich umami flavor and a beautiful, bright green color.
After steaming, the leaves are dried as they float on air currents, then finished in traditional brick ovens to preserve their delicate form. The resulting tea is aged from May until autumn, then slowly ground on stone mills into an ultra-fine, velvety powder.
The result is a matcha with a smooth, refreshing taste and a deep umami richness. Each pack is sealed in a nitrogen-filled aluminum pouch to lock in freshness from the garden to your cup.
