This Organic First Flush Matcha is sourced from Nagasaki, where tea plants are shaded for two to three weeks to enhance natural sweetness and umami flavours. Each section is shaded just once every three years, allowing the tea plants to recover fully. This results in a vibrant first flush matcha with refined umami, gentle sweetness, and a beautifully balanced character. Traditionally, first flush leaves were reserved for high grade matcha. Matcha made from these leaves is layered, umami forward, and naturally smooth. It is best enjoyed on its own, whisked simply with water, allowing the character of the tea to shine without milk or sweeteners. Certified Organic by Pro-Cert Canada Cultivar: Okumidori (Okumidori (おくみどり) is a late-budding, frost-resistant cultivar that creates a delicate umami and vegetal matcha.)
