Description
Premium ceremonial matcha from Kagoshima
Experience authentic Japanese matcha with this premium ceremonial-grade matcha from Biomatea. The tea is grown and harvested in Kagoshima, a renowned tea-producing region in southern Japan known for its mild climate and mineral-rich volcanic soil.
Only tender leaves from the first harvest are selected. Before harvesting, the tea plants are grown beneath shade nets to develop their characteristic deep-green colour and smooth flavour. The leaves are then carefully hand-picked, gently air-dried and traditionally ground using granite stone mills.
The result is an exceptionally fine, vibrant matcha powder with a smooth mouthfeel and gentle umami character. It can be enjoyed traditionally with water, prepared as a creamy matcha latte or used to add natural colour and distinctive green-tea flavour to smoothies and desserts.
