THIS ELEGANT MATCHA IS CRAFTED FROM A BLEND OF THE FINEST FIRST HARVEST TEA LEAVES, SOURCED EXCLUSIVELY FROM RENOWNED GARDENS ACROSS THE KYOTO REGION. GROWN IN SHADED FIELDS TO ENHANCE SWEETNESS AND DEPTH, THESE TENDER LEAVES ARE PICKED AT PEAK FRESHNESS TO PRESERVE THEIR NATURAL VIBRANCY. AFTER HARVEST, THE LEAVES ARE GENTLY STEAMED, DRIED, AND METICULOUSLY SORTED TO REMOVE STEMS AND VEINS—BECOMING PURE TENCHA, THE BASIS OF OUR SMOOTH, LUMINOUS MATCHA.
In Uji, Kyoto, the cradle of Japanese tea culture, tea master Koji Kagata precision-mills his matcha for an ultra-fine texture and smooth finish, resulting in a product of unmatched quality. Kagata-san, a second-generation tea master with over 30 years of experience, was taught the Way of Tea by his father. Now, he is passing down this knowledge to his son, Naoki Kagata, ensuring that the legacy of crafting exceptional matcha continues for generations to come.
