Description
Charaku Premium Matcha comes from fields high in the mountains of the Nishio region of central Japan, the country's premier location for growing naturally grown Tencha, the base tea to produce Matcha. Only the best leaves are hand-picked and granite stone-milled to produce our high quality Matcha. Naturally grown with no synthetic pesticides or fertilizers. Cultivation methods are certified by Japan Agriculture Standards, the Japanese government's regulatory agency. While Matcha has for centuries been associated with the Tea Ceremony, it can also be enjoyed anytime to enhance the health of our physical and spiritual lives. Experience the taste, history, tradition, and health benefits of Charaku Premium Naturally Grown Matcha.
**Regarding pricing: We've now gone through the inventory of pre-summer 2025 priced Matcha, which we stocked up on just before the price hikes and product shortages caused by the world-wide matcha boom of the past few years. Even though late spring and early summer auction prices in Japan for Uji and other Matcha regions saw price increases of as much as double, and sometimes more, last year's prices; we've been fortunate to see only modest increases in prices for our Nishio Matcha. Still, prices from Japan have increased pretty much across the board for Matcha as well as other leaf teas affected by the Matcha boom. We're striving to keep prices as low as possible, but we have had to increase our Matcha price by $3 per 30-gram tin just to keep pace with the increases. Hopefully, we can stay at this new price point for as long as possible. Thank you for your understanding, and continued patronage.
