Great Rise Organic Matcha is from an area renowned for producing high-grade tea that has
unique inland climate perfectly suited to growing tea.A variety of conditions must be met in
order to be treated as organic matcha, and an organic tea garden must grow tea in healthy
soil which has not been treated with pesticides or chemical fertilizers for 3 years.Only after
practicing organic management for 3 years and passing a strict inspection by a third-party
organization are they recognized as an organic tea garden. Great Rise Organic Matcha meet
with EU , NOP, CERES, BRC Organic Standard.
Herbicides cannot be used around the tea garden, and matcha takes time and effort,
requiring the tea garden be covered to shade the plants from the sun for 20 days or more.
Covering the plants prevents excessive bitterness and astringency while increasing savoriness,
and slowly drying the picked tea leaves in stone ovens produces high-quality, extremely
precious matcha.
