Matcha “Matsu no Midori”
This is a high quality Matcha commonly used in Japanese tea ceremonies (cha-no-yu). The name “Matsu no Midori” refers to the green colour of the pine tree. It is a classic, thin-style Matcha (Usucha), high in antioxidants and very popular with our customers. The tea is rich with an intense, green colour and sweet, aromatic aftertaste. It comes hermetically double-sealed to lock in freshness.
