The organically grown tea garden in the beautiful Kirishima mountains . Here the hills are often covered in fog and the peaks look like small islands appearing out of the fog (kiri = fog, shima = island). Hence the name Kirishima (= island of fog).
The Hayashi family chose the Oku Midori tea variety for their Matcha for its balanced taste, sweetness and strong aroma with refreshing notes. These characteristics of Oku Midori emerge even more thanks to the long shading which gives it high levels of L-theanine , chlorophyll , vitamins and antioxidants .
After being covered for at least 2 weeks, to ensure they remain completely in the shade, only the most beautiful leaves are collected and delicately ground until a very fine powder is obtained.
