A few more shots from visiting our tea farm partners in Japan. ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ Our matcha starts here, from excellent organic tencha leaves. They’re covered and shade-grown before harvesting to keep the umami-rich flavor without developing bitterness. The flavor starts with healthy soil and strong tea plants that are grown using organic fertilizers, without pesticides. ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ Before the leaves are sent to you, they’re dried and the stems are removed so only the tender part of the leaf remains to be freshly ground in your Matcha Maker. ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ We hope you enjoy you next cup of Cuzen Matcha with these fresh organic leaves in mind! 🍵 ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ #cuzenmatcha #organictea #organicmatcha #tencha #japanesetea #matchalovers #matchamaker #sustainablefarming #japanesematcha #japanesegreentea #freshlyground #teafarm
