Our matcha is single-region from Chiran, Minamikyushu City in Kagoshima, Japan's largest tea-producing municipality responsible for 16% of Japan's tea production. Chiran tea has won national production awards for 5 consecutive years.
High-quality matcha has vivid, bright green color (not pale or reddish), distinctive "covered aroma" from proper shading, rich umami with minimal bitterness. Cheap alternatives often show yellow or brown tones and higher astringency—which your customers will notice in taste, color, and consistency.
Yes. Our matcha meets Japanese national production standards and comes from award-winning Chiran producers. We maintain full traceability from field to package with third-party testing for purity.
Chiran matcha is grown in mineral-rich volcanic soil with pure mountain water, producing tea with rich sweetness, minimal bitterness, and vibrant emerald color. The region's shaded cultivation and gentle steaming preserves chlorophyll and umami.
Unopened matcha stays fresh for 12-18 months. Once opened, use within 2-3 months for optimal flavor. After that, matcha is still safe to consume but better suited for lattes or baking where milk and heat mask some flavor loss.
Store matcha in an airtight container away from light, heat, and moisture, preferably refrigerated. We highly recommend refrigerating after opening to maintain vibrant color and fresh flavor.
Bulk matcha typically comes in sealed bags (500g, 1kg, or larger). Packaging is designed to maintain freshness and protect against light and moisture.
