Origin

This organic Kagoshima Matcha powder is produced near Sakurajima volcano on Kyushu Island.

Kagoshima is Japan’s second-largest tea-producing region, after Shizuoka, and is known for its modern, efficient farming techniques.

Unlike the cooler central regions like Uji or Shizuoka, Kagoshima benefits from large amounts of sunlight so farmers often use kabuse (shading covers) for up to 20–30 days before harvest to reduce bitterness and develop rich umami.
