Ingredients: Organic Culinary Matcha from Fukuoka, Yame, Japan.

Health Benefits: Our Culinary Matcha is grown under shaded conditions for three weeks to enhance its production of chlorophyll and amino acids, resulting in a vibrant, fluorescent green powder packed with antioxidants. The drying process, which excludes rolling, helps preserve the leaves’ natural integrity and facilitates the removal of stems and veins before stone grinding. This method ensures the highest nutritional content, making it ideal for health-conscious culinary enthusiasts.

Tasting Notes: Revel in the rich, creamy mouthfeel of this matcha with its balanced umami flavor profile and subtly herbaceous finish. Its full-bodied texture enhances both hot and cold beverages and pairs beautifully in culinary applications, from matcha lattes to pastries and other matcha recipes.

Journey and Sourcing: Nestled in Japan’s mountainous Yame region, our Japanese matcha is cultivated at high altitudes along the Hoshino River. The area’s cool, foggy air creates optimal conditions for slow leaf growth, yielding matcha with profound complexity. This regionally specific climate, combined with traditional handpicking techniques, produces a sweet, savory umami flavor profile unique to Yame, making it a favorite among matcha connoisseurs.
