Premium Organic Ceremonial Japanese Matcha Powder - First Harvest

Akira Matcha by Matcha Konomi is an organic, ceremonial-grade matcha green tea powder that hails from Uji city in the Kyoto prefecture of Japan. The tea leaves undergo a strict farming and processing regimen, including three weeks of shade-growing prior to harvest to block the majority of sunlight - a traditional step that has a direct impact on the flavor and quality of the matcha.

This matcha is made from delicate first-harvest leaves carefully selected from the top of the tea plants. The leaves are then slowly stone-ground, a meticulous process that avoids excessive heat which could affect the powder's quality. To ensure freshness year-round, the semi-processed leaves are stored in temperature-controlled units and ground into small batches as needed.

With proper whisking, there is no need to sift Akira matcha in advance, and the product contains no additives. Customers can choose from three sizes: 30g (1 oz), 100g (3.5 oz), and 454g (16 oz). The matcha has received an average rating of 4.7 out of 5 stars from 3,178 reviews.
