Mizuba Yorokobi Organic Matcha Green Tea artisanal Yorokobi is made of 1st flush spring, single-estate (exceptionally rare!) tencha leaves that are shade-grown for 20 days prior to harvest on volcanic mountain slopes, in soil known as Shirasu. Yorokobi is made of two cultivars: Okumidori and Kanayamidori.
 
It is grown solely with natural, organic fertilizers, and no synthetic agricultural chemicals or pesticides are used.
 
Yorokobi, translating to "joy" in Japanese, certainly lives up to its namesake! This exquisite matcha is one of the smoothest, most umami-filled organic matcha green teas.
 
While most organic matcha teas are very tannic and earthy, the care and attention to growing beautiful Yorokobi result in a velvety, vegetal sweetness that is a joy to drink. It is deep, mellow, and rich. 
 
Ingredients: Certified Organic Stone Ground Matcha tea
Other ingredients: None
Tasting notes: Flavor Profile: a light, sweet floral silkiness evokes thoughts of Spring. Clean and full-bodied, the vegetal depth of the tea categorizes it as pure umami.
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!
