Our matcha is shaded for 20 days, enhancing the sweetness and umami characteristics of matcha.

Shaded for 20 Days!

Our tea plants are covered from direct sunlight for 20 days before harvest. This process , known as “tana” encourages plants to produce higher levels of chlorophyll and amino acids, particularly L-theanine.The result is a matcha with vibrant green color, a smoother flavor, and a more concentrated nutrient profile.

The moderate climate, nutrient-rich volcanic soil and time-honored cultivation methods are one of the secrets behind the exceptional quality of our matcha.

Smooth and Mellow flavor

Our matcha is cultivated on Japan, where it benefits from the nutrient-rich volcanic soil and time-honored cultivation techniques handed down through generations, resulting in matcha of unparalleled quality. The warm summers and cool winters allows tea plants to thrive, resulting in leaves with optimal flavor and nutrient content.
