Tasting Notes:
sea foam • buttered spinach • sweet pea

This tea is our highest grade of ceremonial matcha. Whisked in the traditional style, this matcha becomes light and fluffy, with a soft sweet finish of buttered spinach and sweet peas. The sweetness lingers on the palate well after the completion of your ritual.

We source our matcha from Marukyu Koyamaen, a highly regarded tea grower, procurer, and tea blender whose private tea estate, located in the heart of Uji, Kyoto, has a rich history dating back to 1704. Koyamaen has strict quality control systems in place that target a wide variety of issues that can affect the quality, taste, and characteristics of their tea: Teas are kept fresh using a unique drying system that reduces moisture in the leaf to an incredibly low level which is verified by an infrared optical moisture meter. Since a vibrant color is essential to the matcha experience, a colorimeter is utilized to ensure that the matcha has a naturally vibrant hue. Finally, the particle size of the matcha is strictly controlled which ensures each particle is fine enough to deliver an easy-to-blend, smooth-tasting beverage.
