Jobetsugi Matcha is an excellent tea from the beautiful Watzuka Valley, south of Uji, Japan, and other nearby prefectures. The first crop (harvested in May) is used to make this matcha. This is the time when the amino acids that create the mouth-filling umami are at their best. The tea plants are shaded and air-dried into Tencha. Later, they are ground by the tiny stone mills. To make a small tin takes about two hours. Hot, iced, or blended with any type of milk, this is a matcha to enjoy!

Notes
This is a blend of high-quality matcha leaves, so it is lighter in body than the Senjunomukashi or Unjontomo. Thus, it is a “thin” matcha. This blend of matcha from several traditional sources qualifies as a ceremonial matcha.
