Our unique manufacturing process begins with the natural nutrients produced by the Sakurajima volcano in Kagoshima, Japan. The volcanic ash and material make Kagoshima prized for having some of the most nutrient-rich soil in the world. The volcanic ash provides our land with plenty of valuable minerals, including iron, magnesium, and potassium and produces large volumes of flavorful, antioxidant-rich, organic Japanese matcha tea leaves.
We grow non-organic and organic bulk green tea leaves, so you can buy the tea in bulk that best matches your business’ individual needs. Although each grade of our bulk matcha tea varies in flavor and color, their quality and health benefits are not compromised. Our green tea bushes are covered in the shade before harvest to help maintain high levels of theanine, amino acids, and preserve our matcha's unique sweetness and bright green color.
After harvesting, the tea leaves are sorted by grade. The leaves are then steamed, dried, and de-stemmed, creating the refined tea known as tencha. We grind our dry and sorted tencha with a stone mortar only when it is ready to be packed to ensure freshness and reduce the risk of oxidation.
