Matcha is one of Japan's most unique teas, made from very delicate ingredients.
There are many grades of Matcha (for example, high quality for tea ceremony, or a lower quality type used for cooking), these differences come from harvesting methods, processing techniques, or difficulties with quality control, etc. We have 6types of Uji matcha and Organic Matcha Kagoshima.
