Misty tea ridges of Shizuoka Premium · Double Sifted
From Shizuoka

Where mist
meets ridge.

Our matcha leaves are grown on family farms in Shizuoka, Japan — shaded, hand-picked, stone-milled.

Every cup we whisk in Palo Alto starts five thousand miles away, on hillsides where the morning fog never quite lifts. We bring you that ridge — sip by sip.

Stone-milled Shade-grown Single-origin
Bamboo whisk in matcha
Hand-whisked, never machine-blended.
Every order starts with chasen and bowl.
Matcha powder sifted into a cup
No machines. No batch barrels.

Made in small batches,
every hour.

Sifted, whisked, poured — by hand. The way it's done in Shizuoka.
