One of the key factors that sets us apart from other Matcha companies is our unwavering dedication to ensuring the freshness of our product.
Unlike many others, we proudly stamp the Harvest Date of our Matcha on every package we deliver.
This small but significant detail is a testament to our commitment to quality and transparency. We want you to know exactly what you're getting and when it was harvested.
Currently, all our Matcha offerings were harvested in the Spring of 2022. You might wonder why this matters. Well, the production process of Matcha is an art form, and it begins with Tencha leaves. These leaves undergo a brief aging period, meticulously stored for approximately 6 months.
This aging period allows the leaves to develop their unique flavors, ensuring that the Matcha we create is nothing short of exceptional.
As of today, our Matcha from the 2022 harvest represents the last production from our farm.
By the end of this month and the beginning of November, the Tencha leaves harvested in the spring of 2023 will be ready to be ground into Matcha.
This means that fresh, vibrant, and utterly delightful Matcha from the 2023 harvest will soon be available for you to savor and enjoy.
This transition from one harvest to the next is an integral part of our dedication to providing you with the finest Matcha possible.
We believe in preserving the natural rhythms of tea production, ensuring that each batch is a true reflection of the season and the land from which it comes.
Stay tuned for the launch of our Matcha from the 2023 harvest!
Matcha, like champagne, is crafted from specific cultivars, each contributing unique flavors. Sorate offers four cultivars: Yabukita (balanced, vibrant green), Samidori (deep green, mild), Asahi (rare, rich, creamy), and Okumidori (umami, bright green).
Single Cultivar matcha showcases one cultivar's traits, preferred by enthusiasts. Blended Cultivar matcha combines multiple cultivars for a balanced flavor, appealing to a broader audience. At Sorate, our diverse matchas highlight these unique flavors and qualities for a distinctive matcha experience.
The first we tried it at Sorate was delicious. It has peach scattered around the edge but this year it has raisin and almond and a bit sweeter . We loved the first version much better ;))
I truly enjoyed this little tea house. The ambience and decor are lovely. The products are high quality and the service was efficient and friendly.
