Grown in Kagoshima Prefecture, one of Japan’s three most renowned tea-producing regions, this Kagoshima tea is made from tea leaves cultivated under abundant sunshine. Rich exposure to sunlight allows the leaves to develop high levels of theanine, the natural component responsible for their sweetness and umami. Smooth, rich, and full-bodied, this tea is distinguished by its deep flavor, generous umami, and pleasant natural sweetness.

Made exclusively from first-flush tea leaves grown in Satsuma, Kagoshima, under the bright sun of southern Japan, this is a rare premium organic matcha carefully cultivated in JAS-certified organic tea gardens without the use of pesticides or chemical fertilizers. Ideal for both koicha and usucha, it is also perfect for matcha lattes and sweets. Its refreshing aroma and smooth, mellow umami stand out beautifully, delivering a rich and distinctive flavor even in small amounts. On hot days, it can also be enjoyed as a refreshing iced matcha, with its crisp, uplifting fragrance becoming even more pronounced. It also pairs exceptionally well with Western-style desserts such as cakes and baked goods. Made with domestically sourced ingredients and offering certified organic quality, this high-grade matcha is an excellent choice for gifts, retail sales, and café menus.
