THE FARM

December 10, 2019

For the people of Uji, tea is their pride, their livelihood, their love, and it is their life. The growth and harvest of matcha and green tea is about family - from the farmers who cultivate each leaf with care, to the tea masters who craft the leaves with accuracy, to those of us who enjoy the taste and the way it makes us feel. If you think you know Japanese tea, try what we have to offer.

disappointed

disappointed after trying this matcha directly after finishing my rockys osada tin. i was excited since this is supposed to be “the spot” to get matcha in nyc so i was expecting it to be good. its not bad its just average and honestly pretty chalky/grainy textured even afer fine sifting and whisking well. and theres an unpleasant bitter taste especially towards the bottom of my drink even after mixing and shaking it around to keep it from separating. i would definitely stick to ippodo and rockys in the future.
