🟢ORGANIC 

Organic green tea produced in Shiga, Japan.
Katagi Koka En has been growing tea trees with no pesticides or chemicals for over 40 years. Organic tea farmers sometimes use animal based fertilizers to enhance the flavors but this farmer uses only plant based fertilizer in order for you to taste the authentic flavor of each cultivars.

🟢 ABOUT TASTE

Even though the tea farmers process this matcha with the same method of "Koicha (thick)", the taste gets close to "Usucha (thin)",
since the main ingredients, tencha leaves, are produced with no pesticides or chemicals. I hope you enjoy the original flavor of tea leaves.


🟢WHAT IS "ASAMIYA"? 

Asamiya is one of 5 major tea plantations in Japan.
A Japanese monk brought tea tree seed back from China and planted them in Asamiya area 1200 years ago, 
which is believed to be the origin of Japanese green tea.

Since Asamiya is high quality tea, it is mostly purchased by tea masters in Uji, Kyoto before it goes on the market.
Asamiya is blended with other leaves in order to produce final products as Uji tea.
Therefore it is very rare even in Japan.
