Our Organic Matcha comes from the southern island of Kyushu in the area around Kagoshima, Japan. It is a certified organic blend by the USDA. It is harvested in the early spring and thus has high levels of umami, though not as high as our Jobetsugi and other ceremonial grades. Organic Matcha can be consumed by itself or as a latte. Iced or hot—your call! Make sure to check out all our Matcha teas!
