DESCRIPTION
Grown in the volcanic highlands of Kirishima in Kagoshima Prefecture, this first-harvest matcha comes from a region known for its mineral-rich soil and deep tea-growing heritage. Tea plants are shaded before harvest to enhance flavor and preserve nutrients, then carefully ground to maintain their vibrant color and smooth character.
The flavor is layered—savory umami with chestnut notes, a hint of citrus, and a soft roasted finish.
Blended from select cultivars and grown without synthetic pesticides, each batch reflects the care of its producers and the vitality of its environment. Every harvest is tested for purity to ensure quality and transparency.
