Japanese Tea • Matcha Powder
$65.00
Sourced directly from a 6th generation tea farm in Shizuoka Prefecture, Japan. Certified organic. Ceremonial grade.
Ceremonial grade matcha is made from the youngest tea leaves, shade-grown for several weeks before harvest to increase chlorophyll and L-theanine content. The leaves are stone-ground into a fine powder. This grade is intended for drinking as a whisked tea, not for culinary use.
Shizuoka is one of Japan's primary matcha-producing regions, known for its mineral-rich soil and temperate climate.
