OUR MATCHA TRADITION
Origin
Shizuoka Prefecture, Japan
Producer
Sasaki Seicha (est. 1921)
About
Sourced from Shizuoka, the historic backbone of Japanese tea, this matcha reflects centuries of cultivation refined through both tradition and innovation. Tea has been grown in the region since the 13th century and was later protected and elevated under the shogunate, establishing Shizuoka as Japan's leading tea-producing prefecture.
Growing Environment
Volcanic soil from Mt. Fuji, morning river mist, and a mild coastal climate create ideal conditions for tea cultivation. These elements preserve amino acids in the leaves, resulting in a matcha that is smooth, balanced, and naturally sweet without bitterness.
Craft & Quality
Produced in partnership with Sasaki Seicha, a renowned Shizuoka tea maker recognized nationally and internationally for excellence. From cultivation to processing, quality is carefully controlled at every stage to ensure consistency, refinement, and clarity of flavor.
