Ceremonial Organic Matcha Kakitsubata

Green Tea

Experience the elevated elegance of our Organic Matcha Kakitsubata, a rare gem sourced from Osada Seicha in Shizuoka, Japan—where the climate and expert processing techniques culminate in a matcha of unparalleled quality. This ceremonial-grade matcha, meticulously ground using bead milling, offers a rich, creamy mouthfeel punctuated by notes of whipping cream, vanilla bean, and a delicate floral finish. Its exceptional texture and depth of flavor make it ideal for traditional tea ceremonies and sophisticated culinary uses alike.

Historical Significance: Introduced to Japan by Buddhist monks at the dawn of the first millennium, Matcha quickly became an integral part of Japanese tea culture. It originates from Shizuoka Prefecture, less than an hour from Tokyo, which is the largest tea-growing region in Japan. Traditionally, Matcha was prepared from dried leaves that were cut and ground between millstones. Today, the finest Matcha is produced from shade-grown leaves, which enhances its flavor and nutritional profile.

Benefits: Matcha is exceptionally high in antioxidants, particularly catechins, which are known for their cancer-fighting properties and their ability to enhance heart health. The complete consumption of the leaf provides a boost in dietary fiber, chlorophyll, and vitamins. Its high caffeine content, similar to that of coffee, makes it an excellent choice for mental clarity and sustained energy.
