OUR MATCHA IS MILLED IN OUR WORKSHOP IN SAINT-JEAN-DE-LUZ. OUR STONEMILL COMES FROM UJI. THIS ALLOWS US TO MAKE THE MATCHA ONCE WE RECEIVE THE ORDER, ENSURING THE MOST FRESHNESS POSSIBLE ALL YEAR LONG. WE CHOOSE TO SOURCE OUR TENCHA FROM AZUMA TEA FARM, A FAMILY TEA FARM OF 10 ACRES IN WAZUKA, KYOTO PREFECTURE, JAPAN. THE 3 CULTIVARS, SAMIDORI, ASAHI AND GOKOO DELIVER A PREMIUM MATCHA, WITH NO PESTICIDE AND NO CHEMICAL FERTILIZER. WE SUGGEST A MIX OF THESE THREE CULTIVARS BUT WE CAN ADAPT TO YOUR DEMAND AND SELL A MATCHA OF ONLY ONE OR TWO CULTIVARS.
