From the tea garden that won First Prize at Japan's National Natural Cultivation Competition, Mitsu represents the pinnacle of Japanese tea craft. Hand-picking is rare—it's labor-intensive, selecting only the youngest, most tender leaves at peak moment. Shaded under tana, a traditional shelf structure that creates deeper, more even coverage than standard methods, the tea develops exceptional umami and that coveted jade color. This rare blend of Asahi, Asatsuyu, Samidori, and Yabukita—cultivars rarely combined—delivers creamy brown-butter umami with delicate floral lift. The kind of matcha reserved for ceremony, for ritual, for moments that deserve your full attention.

For anyone who wants to drink pure matcha (no added milk etc) this is an excellent choice - this makes a drink that has virtually no hint of bitterness and a delicious rich umami flavor. Highly recommended.
