Our premium Matcha is certified organic by the Ministry of Agriculture, Forestry, and Fisheries of Japan. It is grown with only natural organic fertilizers and no agricultural chemicals or pesticides. It takes a lot of knowledge and time to make a premium matcha grow. Generalized high quality green tea and therefore Matcha need a lot of synthetic fertilizer. However, this fertilizer must not be used for organic tea, so much more time is needed to achieve the same results as if chemical fertilizers were used.
If you are passionate about organic teas, we are confident that you will be thrilled with this tea.

About Matcha:
Matcha is a finely grounded powdered green tea, made from tea leaves shade-grown before the harvest. Blocking sunlight prevents sweetening and deliciousness components from turning into bitterness and astringency. The leaves used for this tea are usually shaded with different methods for more than 20 days before plucking. Then the leaves are steamed to prevent a reduction in the quality of the fresh leaves and to preserve their freshness. The leaves are then further dried and chopped into small pieces. Once the veins have been removed, the final steps involve further drying and are finally ground into powder with a granite stone mill.
