This first flush (earliest spring growth) Ceremonial Grade matcha (green tea powder) was machine harvested May 13, then wilted, steamed, rolled, dried and ceramic ball milled into a fine powder. Selecting only the bud and two leaves from the harvested material, this USDA certified organic tea is similar in quality to handpicked sejak (small beak) jaksul (sparrow’s beak) nokcha (green tea).
The tea leaves are partially shade grown (for the final 21 days prior to harvest) and are loaded with theanine (amino acids) providing a mellow, sweet taste to this green tea powder. This single estate tea comes from the fertile volcanic soil of the cool eastern slope of Mt. Halla on Jeju Island, located off Korea’s southern coast.
