Together with Kagoshima, Aichi Prefecture is known for Japan's best organic Matcha teas.
The best climate and ideal soil conditions make the region perfect for cultivating green tea and Tencha in particular. More than 25% of Japan's total Matcha production comes from this area. Thanks to a special composition of nutrient-rich, organic fertilizers, the tea develops a particularly deep green color and very delicate, unique aromas.
The plants are shaded for at least four weeks (>90%). Due to the almost complete lack of light, Tencha develops a uniquely gentle character with fine fruity notes.
The result: a velvety texture that whips up quickly into a foam. With its fruity, vibrant profile, Yottsu is particularly suitable for Matcha Latte.
