Why choose MATCHA SONOGI?
-
A collective terroir: A matcha resulting from a rare collaborative effort in which each farmer contributes his or her vision, from planting to cup.
-
A singular profile: Mild, sweet and marine, with umami depth ideal for both usucha and koicha.
-
A modern expression of tradition: Blended, but on the scale of a close-knit cooperative that grows and processes on site.
-
Versatile: Sublime in traditional preparation, but also as an iced or hot latte, for a contemporary daily ritual.
A matcha that embodies the spirit of community: many voices, one harmony.
