Matcha Yatakagami is the highest quality Matcha produced in Japan. Each leaf for this item is specially selected and carefully picked by our farmers' skilled hands. Today most tea leaves are trimmed by machine and traditional hand picked Matcha is rarely grown and is therefore very precious. The flavor and aroma of hand picked tea is much more mellow and smooth than tea trimmed by machine.
Matcha Yatakagami is grown close to the Uji river, where the soil is very fertile. Rich soil creates the characteristic mellow and deep taste. It is carefully grown in the shade for 20 to 30 days before harvest by the way of "Tana" which requires skillful technique and great care. Excellent noble aroma is created by the shaded from sunlight of the "Tana" technique.
Thanks to these special conditions and growing techniques, Matcha Yatakagami is wonderfully quite smooth and mellow, with a deep taste and excellent noble aroma. It is perfect for Koicha (thick and strong matcha) as well as for Usucha (thin and weak matcha).

How to Properly Prepare Matcha 抹茶 Tea – Traditional and Modern Ways
Matcha 抹茶 is a finely ground powder made from specially grown and processed green tea leaves. Unlike other teas, matcha is not steeped but whisked directly into water, allowing you to consume the entire leaf and benefit from its concentrated flavor and nutrients. Matcha has its roots in China’s Tang (唐) and Song (宋) dynasties, where tea leaves were steamed, pressed into cakes, and later ground into powder for whisking with hot water.
