Seika - exceptional ceremonial grade, Ichibancha ground with a stone mill, zero bitterness. Hiraki - classic ceremonial grade, balanced and vegetal. Saku - superior culinary grade, frank flavor that holds up to cooking.
The origin does not change, the use and grade do.
Bitterness comes from inferior quality, water that is too hot, or excessive dosage. Our tea plants are shaded for several weeks before harvesting. This technique concentrates L-theanine and reduces the tannins responsible for bitterness.
Our three matchas come from Uji, Kyoto region, the historical birthplace of matcha for over 800 years. Family farm, shade-grown, hand-picked, stone-ground. Only one harvest per year.

What they say about it.
The first matcha I've ever drunk without bitterness. The difference compared to what I found in organic shops is incomparable.
I prepare it every morning instead of coffee. Stable energy all morning, no slump at 11 am.
Used for my lattes and pastries. The color and taste hold perfectly, even when baked.
