Mizuba Tsuyuhikari Ceremonial Matcha Green Tea is a very special matcha hailing from the mist-covered tea farms in Haruno, Shizuoka. This tea is lovingly farmed, stone-milled, and crafted by a husband and wife team. 
 
Tsuyuhikari translates to "dew light" and is a relatively rare, premium cultivar known for a vibrant, deep-green liquor, deep umami, a refreshing aroma, and exquisite flavor. 
 
Tsuyuhikari is high in theanine, the amino acid responsible for sweetness and umami in tea. This gives it a smooth, rich flavor that's easy to enjoy for a wide range of tea drinkers. When brewed with cold water (mizudashi), the sweetness becomes even more pronounced, making it ideal for iced tea. Tsuyuhikari contains relatively low levels of catechins, so bitterness and astringency are minimal.
 
Ingredients: Shade-grown and stone-ground matcha green tea
Other ingredients: None
Tasting notes: Aroma: bright and fresh, like a spring field in the mountains.Flavor profile: deep, bodied, umami-forward with a note of hops. Sweet, long finish.
Storage: Refrigerate your Matcha after opening. The tea is sensitive to light, air, and heat, and will keep well for about six months before its flavors and color start to dull. Fresh Matcha is the frothiest Matcha!
 
Matcha contains:
 
- Chlorophyll
- Amino acids - Especially L-theanine
- Catechins: a category of antioxidants
 
Unlike traditional steeping, where a tea drinker receives only some of the tea's nutrients in the water, a Matcha drinker consumes the entire Camellia sinensis (tea) leaf in its powdered state–thereby receiving 100% of its nutritional value! Drink matcha because it tastes great - but also enjoy the bonus of matcha's bountiful benefits!
