What Defines Ceremonial Grade?

🌿 Shade-Grown (Tana) Cultivation

Tea plants covered for 20–30 days before harvest. Shading boosts L-theanine (umami), chlorophyll (vibrant green), and reduces catechins (bitterness).

👆 Hand-Selected First Flush

Only the youngest, most tender spring leaves are picked. First harvest (ichibancha) delivers the most concentrated flavor and nutrients.

⚙️ Traditional Stone-Grinding

Granite stone mills rotate at 30–60 RPM — grinding just 30–40g per hour. Low speed prevents heat damage, preserving color, aroma, and nutrients.

🔬 Rigorous Quality Standards

Particle size 5–20μm. Moisture ≤5%. Color value a* (green) ≤-8.0. Zero additives, zero fillers. Every batch COA-verified.
