THIS EXQUISITE KIRISHIMA MIUMORI MATCHA IS OF THE HIGHEST QUALITY AND IS FREQUENTLY USED IN TRADITIONAL JAPANESE TEA CEREMONIES.
CHARACTERIZED BY A SUPERB UMAMI FLAVOR AND EXCEPTIONAL SMOOTHNESS, THIS TEA IS HIGHLY REGARDED BY MATCHA ENTHUSIASTS FOR ITS DAILY ENJOYMENT AND AFFORDABILITY.
THE YOUNG TEA LEAVES, HARVESTED FROM THE FIRST SPRING CROP, ARE SHADED UNDER NETS FOR THREE WEEKS BEFORE BEING STEAMED, DRIED, AND PROCESSED INTO TENCHA, WITH STEMS AND VEINS REMOVED BY HAND.
SUBSEQUENTLY, THE LEAVES ARE FINELY GROUND USING TRADITIONAL STONE MILLS TO PRODUCE AN ULTRA-FINE POWDER WITH A VIBRANT GREEN HUE. RICH IN CAFFEINE AND OTHER NUTRIENTS, THIS MATCHA IS BOTH INVIGORATING AND BENEFICIAL DUE TO ITS HIGH L-THEANINE CONTENT.
