Our Organic Matcha is certified by the Ministry of Agriculture, Forestry, and Fisheries of Japan. They are grown with only natural organic fertilizers and no agricultural chemicals or pesticides.
In Japan, we say "Daichi tono Kakutoh" to describe traditional organic farming. "Daichi tono Kakutoh" means that it takes a lot of time and great effort to grow organic green tea. There are only a few farmers that produce organic green tea in a small part of Kyoto. (For more information, click here.)
Matcha is made from new tea leaves that have been carefully grown under diffused sunlight for 20-30 days before they are harvested, steamed and dried. The dried leaves are then ground with a traditional stone mortar and pestle, called a Hikiusu.
Although Japanese green tea is harvested two to four times through the year, we can realistically harvest high quality organic tea only once a year due to lack of nutrition caused by limited use of fertilizers. Many organic Japanese green teas are harvested two to four times through the year, so unfortunately its teaste and aroma are not excellent.
Please enjoy the simple and traditional taste of our Organic Matcha.
