Japanese Ceremonial Matcha Tea
Tasting Profile
Shade Grown
Silky and balanced with sweet umami, fresh young greens, and creamy body. Subtle notes of steamed spinach, tender nori, and a lingering, honeyed finish with low bitterness.
Origin & Region
Japan
Ceremonial grade matcha sourced from shade-grown tea gardens in renowned Japanese growing areas. Tender, first-harvest leaves are stone-milled into an ultra-fine powder, emphasizing sweetness, vibrancy, and umami
Altitude & Processing
Typical tea elevations: 300–2,000 ft
Shade-grown for several weeks to enhance chlorophyll and amino acids, then hand-plucked, steamed to prevent oxidation, dried, and de-stemmed into tencha before slow stone-milling into fine matcha.
Blend Composition
100% Matcha
Single-cultivar and select-cultivar blends of shade-grown, first-flush tencha, stone-milled to preserve aroma, color, and sweetness.
