Ceremonial Grade Matcha. Our Matcha comes from several small producers in Japan, all dedicated to their craft. We select each matcha based on their similar flavor profiles: fresh, smooth, and toasty matcha with a clean finish. Our matcha is hand-plucked, traditionally stone-milled, and air-freighted to ensure optimal freshness. Origin: Kagoshima, Kyoto & Shizuoka, Japan Flavor: The flavor of our matcha comes from firing the tea leaves in higher heat than usual. The result: a toasty, nutty-like aroma with a clean & mellow vegetal finish devoid of bitterness. Small producers: The matcha comes from small family farms. The soil type is mineral-rich clay soil, which contributes to depth of flavors and strong aroma in the tea.
