Ippodo Matcha Tea

$28.00 Sale Save

Description:
Characterized by its rich aroma, full-bodied mellow sweetness, and vivid green color, matcha is a favorite among tea lovers in Japan. Ground from shade-cultivated tea leaves, matcha is rich in theanine -- an amino acid responsible for matcha's umami (translates to “savory deliciousness” and is also known as the fifth taste).

Variation:
2 varieties of matcha tea are currently available.
Ippodo: Kinmo No Mukashi (20g)  (Standard grade)
Ippodo: Hourai No Mukashi (20g)  (Higher grade)

History: 
Ippodo Tea has produced the highest quality of Japanese green tea for the last 3 centuries and is considered by many to be the best procurer of Japanese green tea on the market today. Ippodo Tea is cultivated in the lush fields of Kyoto, and its surrounding areas, mainly for the region's mild and temperate climate, mineral-rich soil, and essential balance of sunshine and rainfall that contributes to the tea's incredible freshness and complex flavors.
