Our organic matcha has a green, snappy character with more astringency than sweetness.
TASTE NOTES

Ranking outside of our regular lineup, this limited tea changes character with every release.
IPPODO’S ORGANIC SELECTION
Our organic teas are produced in the Kyoto tea production region and are certified organic by the JAS. (The USDA recognizes JAS organic certification as an equivalent standard to USDA organic certification.) We have selected each organic variety to meet Ippodo standards for authentic Japanese green tea flavor, aroma, and color. Additionally, compared to our other tea blends, the weather and other growing factors lead to greater differences in the character of our organic teas every year. Discovering this year’s unique characteristics is one of the delights of these teas.
