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. More
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).
