Naturally Cultivated & Stone-Ground Excellence
Matcha Kaori is a premium matcha green tea sourced from Shizuoka, Japan, a region celebrated for its pristine environment and centuries-old tea traditions. Cultivated using natural methods, this tea is a testament to sustainable and artisanal practices. The delicate tea leaves are carefully harvested, steamed, dried, and stone-ground to produce a vibrant, fine green powder. The traditional stone-grinding process ensures that each batch retains its bright colour, rich nutrients, and complex flavour profile.
