Tempo

This matcha comes from Kyotanabe in Kyoto Prefecture, just southwest of Uji – the birthplace of Japanese matcha. Kyotanabe is part of what we lovingly call the “tea cradle,” a patchwork of towns and villages that together make up the famed Uji growing region. Tea has been cultivated here for centuries, and the combination of rich volcanic soil, clear rivers, and cool mountain air creates leaves with exceptional depth. The result is a tea that carries both the weight of history and the distinct character of its land.

Spring grass and cocoa. Balanced sweetness and umami, good aroma, and light astringency. This tea is a field blend primarily made with the tea cultivar Yabukita.
