Our Matcha Powder
Where do you source your matcha from?
We source from Kagoshima, Japan because it is one of the most ideal regions to harvest the delicate tencha leaf. Kagoshima is the home of:
- ☀️ Good Climate: Kagoshima has a warm and humid climate, which is ideal for growing tea plants. The region receives plenty of rainfall, and the temperature is relatively stable throughout the year, providing the necessary conditions for the tea plants to thrive.
- 🌱 Rich Soil: The soil in Kagoshima is rich in minerals, which is essential for the growth of healthy tea plants. The volcanic soil found in the region is particularly beneficial as it provides the tea plants with the necessary nutrients to produce high-quality leaves.
- 🗾 Pristine Location: Kagoshima is located in the southern part of Japan, far away from the industrial centers of the country. The air and water in the region are relatively clean, which is essential for producing high-quality tea leaves.
- 🧑🌾 Traditional Practices: Kagoshima has a long tradition of tea production, and the tea farmers in the region have honed their skills over generations. They have developed unique techniques for shading the tea plants, picking the leaves, and processing them into matcha, resulting in some of the highest quality matcha in Japan.
