Chinese-grown leaf, Japanese cultivars, Uji-style ceremonial matcha. Four graded expressions for luxury retail, high-end tea houses, premium restaurants and fine gifting. USDA NOP organic across the line; EU organic for Uji1 and Uji3 only.
Tea plants covered for 20β30 days before harvest. Shading boosts L-theanine (umami), chlorophyll (vibrant green), and reduces catechins (bitterness).
Only the youngest, most tender spring leaves are picked. First harvest (ichibancha) delivers the most concentrated flavor and nutrients.
Powder is milled under controlled low temperature, so the leaf never builds enough heat to dull its colour or flatten its aroma. The result is a fine, free-flowing powder that disperses evenly in water, milk and plant-based bases β with the jade colour and fresh umami intact.
