Harvested only once a year, our first flush organic matcha is certified by the Ministry of Agriculture, Forestry, and Fisheries of Japan (JAS). The single harvest ensures your tea is the highly sought first harvest of the year and full of nutrients. With organic matcha, it is said that the more savory, earthy flavor is similar to how matcha was grown and produced historically. Though certified organic matcha is difficult to produce, the effort is well worth the result. The bold, profound umami taste of our organic ceremonial grade matcha is an experience not to be missed.
