Ceremonial Grade Matcha
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. produced in Kyoto are from Wazuka
Stone-milling process: In older times, stone mills used to be rotated by hand, but nowadays the rotation is automated. The leaves are funneled down and ground in between two granite stones. The heat produced by the stone mills brings out the flavors of the leaves. Stone-ground Matcha has a deep flavor which a ball mill or a jet mill cannot make.
