Matcha ~ Ceremonial Organic Yabukita 🇯🇵

Yoshida Family Matcha // Ceremonial Grade

Stone Ground Powdered Green Tea

From Wazuka, Soraku District, Kyoto Prefecture, Honshu Island, Japan

40g Tin

This tea is organically grown!

An delicious Matcha that offers a vibrant pale green colour with a sharp texture and rich body, creamy with bright, fresh flavours and balancing touches of astringency. Subtle sweetness akin to green apples and vegetal notes complimented with full fruity aromas. Good length of flavour lasting in the mouth, once enjoyed.

Made from organically cultivated, shaded Tencha leaves from the Yabukita cultivar and harvested in May. The leaves are selected and steamed over a water bath, dried and ground into a fine powder in granite stone mills.

Megumi Nakao took over the small scale Yoshida family tea farm from her father and since then has been switching to natural organic cultivation and processes, believing in the importance of creating resilient, sustainable tea trees and producing clean, pure teas for the health of her family, the people and the environment. With the aim to produce tea with the natural fragrant flavour of the tea plant.

Wazuka is a tea town in the southeastern area of Kyoto Prefecture. Wazuka has been a tea growing location since the Kamakura period as a main producer following Uji tea processing methods. It thought that the Kaijūsen-ji temple introduced tea to the area and Zen Buddhist monk, Shonin Jishin was the first to cultivate tea on Mt Jubu and then in Wazuka.
