A distinctive fusion of Japanese matcha craftsmanship and high-altitude Kenyan tea, Izu Matcha brings together the best of two renowned tea-growing traditions. This unique blend offers the smooth character of premium Japanese matcha, complemented by the bright, lively freshness of carefully selected Kenyan tea, naturally rich in polyphenols.
Expect a vibrant cup with fresh grassy notes, a light citrus brightness, balanced umami, and a clean, refreshing finish. Versatile and approachable, Izu Green Matcha is equally enjoyable as a traditional bowl of matcha or crafted into a smooth, flavorful latte.
Tea Expert Note: High-altitude Kenyan tea is celebrated for its lively character and naturally abundant polyphenols, which contribute to green tea's antioxidant properties. Blended with Japanese matcha, it creates a distinctive flavor profile that is both refreshing and beautifully balanced.
