In simple terms, it’s seasoned sodium chloride with real green tea character. The balance delivers a vivid green hue and an earthy, umami-leaning flavor. It’s designed to bring visual elegance to plating and everyday meals. Premium Organic Japanese Matcha The matcha in our matcha salt is authentic organic Japanese green tea. What is Matcha? Matcha is a finely ground powder made from specially grown green tea leaves. Unlike steeped tea, you consume the whole leaf for full flavor. Cultivation Process: The plants are shade-grown for 3-4 weeks before harvest. This increases chlorophyll and supports the vibrant color and sweet, umami tone. The youngest leaves are hand-picked, steamed, dried, and stone-ground. Organic Certification: Our matcha is certified organic (BIO). It’s grown without synthetic pesticides, herbicides, or chemical fertilizers.
