This exclusive koicha matcha - also known as "strong matcha" - originates from the heart of Uji, a traditional cultivation area in Japan. It is grown on a modest 1.25-hectare tea garden, which has been cultivated with dedication and according to organic standards by the Nakanishi family since 1980. Under a complete cover of black nets, the tea bushes thrive in an environment that meets the highest standards of sustainable cultivation. This care continues during the harvest, which is carried out exclusively by hand and with the utmost precision.
After harvesting, the leaves are processed into fine tencha before being ground into the finest matcha on traditional stone mills. The resulting quality is an expression of the dedication and craftsmanship that can be felt in every cup. This rare quality is limited to less than 1 kilogram this year, making the matcha a coveted treasure that is primarily aimed at select connoisseurs and tea masters outside of Japan.Visit the Nakanishi family website to learn more about the stories behind this exceptional tea and to better understand the craft that goes into every step of the process.
