About The Growers: The Azuma Tea Garden is a family-operated, fourth-generation farm specializing in Tencha tea leaf cultivation and processing. Founded in the late 19th century the family manages tea fields in the mountains of Wazuka, Kyoto, Japan. While not fully certified organic yet, they are in the process of converting to organic cultivation.
"Wazuka-cho in Kyoto is known as the main production region of Uji tea. Surrounded by mountains, river, clean air and rich soil, Wazuka is a region suited for growing tea. Our tea fields are located in the eastern part of Wazuka-cho, where neither trains nor major road runs. The scenery of endless tea fields is designated as Kyoto's "cultural landscape"

Customer Reviews
Bright green, whisks well overall really good quality
Brought for me by my partner, this matcha whisked up very easily with no sifting required. It made a smooth matcha with no bitterness or astringency yet with the distinctive matcha vibes I love - green, earthy, vegetal unami. I would highly recommend this to people who find some matchas too strong flavoured or bitter. I look forward to gradually trying the other teas that are available from this farm and from Tencha Teas!
Thank you Stephanie, we are so happy you enjoyed this matcha.
This tea has a mellow yet distinctive taste. It has a pleasant after taste that is in no way astringent. This tea is very finely ground and requires no sifting. Overall, a great tasting tea at this price point, with the added bonus of being pesticide free!
Thank you for taking the time to review
I've been drinking matcha daily for about 20 years. There is plenty of great match available on the UK but this is one of the nicest I have found in a while. A mellow but subtlety complex flavour and aroma and it whisks up beautifully. Definitely recommended.
So glad you like it Ian! Thank you for the review
