Jingshan Mountains, the birthplace of matcha
Our matcha comes from the Jingshan Mountains, in China's Zhejiang province, the historical origin of matcha tea. From there it traveled to Japan in the 12th century to become the heart of the tea ceremony. Today, its slopes with constant mist and mineral-rich soils continue to produce exceptional green leaves, shade-grown to concentrate L-theanine, chlorophyll, and natural sweetness.
