100% AUTHENTIC JAPANESE - 100% QUALITY - 100% FRESH - 100% FAIR - 100% FOR YOU
Our tea originates from the Kagoshima province in Japan where they have passed on the craftsmanship of growing matcha over many generations. We are buying directly to provide a quality of matcha which is only available in Japan. Only 1% of the whole matcha supply in Japan is available for export. That's one reason it's so important to have a direct relationship with the supplier in Japan. Another reason for the direct trade is to make sure they receive fair compensation. For you, this means that no money is spent on redundant intermediaries and you support a local community. Since our tea doesn't have to pass multiple intermediaries and is shipped straight by airfreight to us, you can be sure to receive fresh matcha. That's important as matcha loses it's flavor and superfood properties over time. Before shipping, our tea master in Kyoto tastes the matcha batch to make sure that each delivery adheres to our high-quality standards.
