ABOUT THIS TEA
First Spring Matcha is made from the earliest harvest of the season, when the young tea leaves are at their most tender and expressive. Selected for freshness and delicacy, these first-picked leaves give the matcha a brighter, lighter character than later harvests.
Before harvest, the tea plants are carefully shaded, then gently steamed, dried, and finely milled to preserve their vivid color, fresh aroma, and naturally soft texture.
In the cup, First Spring Matcha is clean, lively, and refreshing, with fresh vegetal notes, gentle sweetness, and a smooth finish. It is an easy choice for mornings, iced matcha, or any moment when you want something bright and uncomplicated.
