Tea story
Organic Matcha Kogamo from Osada Tea is a premium matcha crafted with remarkable precision in the scenic Tenryu mountains of Shizuoka. The tea plants thrive at altitudes of 300-500 meters, where the cool mountain air and rich soil conditions impart unique qualities to the leaves.
A blend of the Yabukita and Gokou cultivars, both celebrated for their fine attributes, results in a well-rounded, balanced matcha with an elevated flavor profile. Handpicked during the spring harvest, these tender young leaves are stone-ground into a powder that is as fine as it is vibrant.
The fresh, grassy aroma and creamy, umami-rich flavor showcase the high altitude's influence on the tea, offering a crisp, refreshing taste that is both invigorating and soothing. Organic Matcha Kogamo captures the essence of Shizuoka's finest tea-growing regions and delivers a matcha experience that celebrates both nature and craftsmanship.
