Cymbiotika's Organic Ceremonial Matcha is a fusion of heirloom varietals that brings forth an invigorating effect and a smooth. delicious flavor. Our matcha draws on multi-generational small family farms in Uji and Kagoshima. Japan. Kagoshima is known for producing Japan's finest organic matcha. where the rich volcanic soils of this southern region of Japan imbue a nuanced flavor not possible to achieve in other soils. Our organic ceremonial matcha is from the first harvest tea leaves. and only the top leaves of each plant are processed in small batches by our national award-winning tea master. A few weeks before harvest. the tea fields are shaded to reduce the production of tannins. preserve the rich chlorophyll content. and increase the l-theanine and caffeine content. Our matcha is 100% stone-ground and patiently and diligently crafted. providing you with superior quality and an exceptional experience.
