This single cultivar Okumidori matcha has a bright vivid green colour and beautifully balanced flavour. 

ORGANIC CERTIFICATION: While all of Azuma-san's products are cultivated without the use of pesticides or synthetic fertilizers, not all of her fields have been certified as organic under Japanese Agricultural Standards (JAS). Some fields are simply in the multi-year process, and some may not qualify due to their proximity to non-organic tea fields. This particular matcha is made specifically from a certified organic tea field

This matcha is made from single-origin Kyoto tencha leaf with no artificial preservatives or chemical additives.

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"
