Matcha grown without use of any agricultural chemicals and artificial fertilizers at all is very limited. We are privileged to have acquired this matcha that is organically cultivated using only natural fertilizers. This special Matcha's leaves are sourced from the Uji region, the best tea growing area of Japan, and is well-known for making "thin tea," or usucha.
*JAS Organic (Japan Agricultural Standards): Only the products that can meet the following terms are certified as JAS-certified organic produce.

Steeping Guidelines:

We source our high-quality matcha from Marukyu Koyamaen in Uji, Kyoto of Japan, a region well-known for its various kinds of tea. With three centuries of experience, Marukyu Koyamaen offers nothing short of fine-quality matcha, to the point where their "best by" date is labeled for only 7 months after production. We've long noticed that their matcha is longer-lasting than this "best by" date and can be enjoyed with freshness and flavor for months, if not longer, after the date
