Tasting Profile: Shade Grown
Silky and balanced with sweet umami, fresh young greens, and creamy body. Subtle notes of steamed spinach, tender nori, and a lingering, honeyed finish with low bitterness.

Altitude & Processing: 300–2,000 ft
Shade-grown for several weeks to enhance chlorophyll and amino acids, then hand-plucked, steamed to prevent oxidation, dried, and de-stemmed into tencha before slow stone-milling into fine matcha.

Origin & Region: Japan
Ceremonial grade matcha sourced from shade-grown tea gardens in renowned Japanese growing areas. Tender, first-harvest leaves are stone-milled into an ultra-fine powder, emphasizing sweetness, vibrancy, and umami.

Blend Composition: 100% Matcha
Single-cultivar and select-cultivar blends of shade-grown, first-flush tencha, stone-milled to preserve aroma, color, and sweetness.
