Shizuoka, Japan's primary matcha-producing region
Nestled at the foot of the majestic Mount Fuji, the Shizuoka region is a true gem for lovers of Japanese tea. Renowned for its lush green tea plantations, it also plays a major role in matcha production, standing proudly alongside prestigious regions like Uji. It’s from this exceptional land that we source our Matcha Original and Culinary Matcha — both 100% organic and cultivated with deep respect for tradition.
A Unique Terroir
Shizuoka’s mild, humid climate, combined with the frequent mist drifting in from surrounding mountains and rivers, creates ideal conditions for tea cultivation. This natural mist shields the tea plants from direct sunlight, preserving their freshness and resulting in a matcha with balanced grassy notes and a subtle sweetness. With TSUKI Matcha Original, experience the full purity and richness of this unique terroir in every cup.
A Legacy of Craftsmanship
For over 800 years, Shizuoka has perfected the art of tea production. The expertise of its farmers has been passed down through generations, ensuring consistent quality and the preservation of ancestral techniques. This mastery produces a matcha rich in chlorophyll and antioxidants, ideal for both traditional and modern use. Elevate your baking, smoothies, or lattes with TSUKI Culinary Matcha, known for its fine texture and authentic flavor.
Sustainable Production
Shizuoka is also a leader in sustainable agriculture, with many farmers embracing organic methods. This minimizes pesticide use while preserving the natural balance of the region. These efforts are reflected in our products, like TSUKI Matcha Original, crafted with care for both the environment and tradition.
Versatile and Refined
Shizuoka matcha is prized for its versatility. Whether prepared as usucha (light matcha) or koicha (thick matcha), it lends itself beautifully to both traditional tea ceremonies and modern culinary creations. Whether you’re whipping up a creamy latte or a delicate dessert, TSUKI Culinary Matcha is your go-to ally, with its smooth flavor and low bitterness.
