Description
Some teas are worth waiting for. This one was.
For nearly a year and a half, our ceremonial matcha sat on a wait list rather than on our shelves. Japan’s matcha shortage — driven by a global surge in demand that outpaced what the tea fields could produce — meant our partner farm couldn’t meet our order. We chose to wait rather than substitute with a matcha we didn’t stand behind.
This batch is worth the wait.
Grown on a small organic farm of Kagoshima Prefecture, this is an Okumidori cultivar — prized for its deep green color, rounded sweetness, and gentle umami finish. The leaves are shade-grown for several weeks before harvest, then stone-milled slowly into a fine powder by a family of tea artisans whose craft spans generations.
