"The story of matcha begins here"
The highest quality tencha (matcha) produced in Uji and other areas southern Kyoto is harvested only once a year, carefully handpicked from the new shoots of the isshin-sanyo plant.
That one-off tea leaf is the fruit of 365 days of painstaking work, effort and love poured into the tea.
No matter how detailed I write, I cannot accurately convey the charm and flavor of this tea.
The tea that ranks highly at the competition is cultivated in a way that is completely different from the tea that is normally traded, in terms of the amount and quality of the effort that goes into it.
Even after it arrives at our hands, it takes at least one year, and up to two years, of maturation to fully bring out the flavor and aroma potential of the product. During this time, we check its condition regularly to determine when it is at its peak of deliciousness.
The aroma and flavor of this tea is like peering into the vastness of the universe. You can't grasp its depth in an instant, but once you've peered into its depths, there's no turning back. It's full of such charm.
We hope you enjoy this exquisite product, born from the bounty of nature and an incredible passion for tea making.
This is the finest, unrivaled matcha, produced by tea farmers who carefully hand-pick only the tender new buds that have been painstakingly cultivated, and finish the tea with the utmost purity.
It will give you a depth of matcha you've never experienced before.
