"Excellent quality and brilliant taste for the money...This matcha is the best of both worlds. I could tell immediately when I opened the bag that it was much higher quality than the brands I had previously been using, even though they were great brands from an Asian grocery store that I would visit when I see my sister and her family just outside of DC. This matcha is brighter literally in color, but also in flavor. It is bold and still earthy, but without the grass-like bitterness that I am accustomed to from lower-grade matcha. Due to the excellent flavor quality, I think I end up breaking about even on cost per serving because less goes farther than with my "cheaper" products.

"Rich flavor, beautiful packaging. This ceremonial matcha is wonderful. It has an excellent, rich flavor and a nice color. The packaging is really nice, and so is the great follow up I got from this company. The feeling this matcha gives me is much more grounded and nourishing than other types of matcha I've tried.

"It's like you mixed sugar cane and pineapple juice and let it dry on your board. Sticky kine brah!"
- Mbarry, Ohm Matcha Customer
"Delicious. I wish this came in a jar because it is a little messy but other than that this tea tastes wonderful. Great value for the price. I make a glass with my sister almost every day. Some days we drink it hot some days cold and we add vanilla almond milk and a couple packets of splenda. Drinking this feels luxurious, if that makes any sense."

By far, the most productive tea-growing regions are in Shizuoka, producing nearly half of Japan’s tea at 45%, and Kagoshima, producing about 20%. Surprisingly, Shizuoka’s topography is dominated by mountains and hills, not allowing for large-scale plantations or big farming equipment. The vast majority of Shizuoka’s tea farms are still operated as family farms or small farming cooperatives. Kagoshima is likely home to the best organic tea farms in all of Japan.
Among our tea farms are several organic certified farms and high elevation farms, as well as a cooperative that has won the Prime Minister’s Award, the highest honor in agriculture in all of Japan! Our team works exclusively with a select group of artisan farmers who have a passion for quality green tea.
Visit one of our green tea farms and you will see our farmers meticulously tending their plants, tenderly touching the tea leaves, and even talking to them. It’s a nurturing relationship that produces outstanding results.
In Japan, the tea industry consists of both tea growers and tea makers. Tea farmers focus on growing the best tea leaf possible, imbued with the flavor and unique qualities offered by the local terroir.
After harvesting and minimal processing, the farmers produce aracha (“crude tea”). Tea makers take this aracha and produce all the different varieties of green tea.
Great tea is a cooperative effort between artisan farmers and masterful tea makers Our matcha is grown in full sunlight, then shaded 3 weeks prior to harvest.
Japanese tea is DEFINED BY PROCESS - there is no region by region tea like you get from chinese tea.
As opposed to China (where tea is different region by region), Japanese tea is defined by how it is processed after it’s grown (part of the process is the shading prior to harvest).
After the leaves are picked, they are dried in a convection style dryer. The leaves are blown around in a chamber that removes stems, leaf veins and dries the tea.
After the drying, one ends up with a fluffy, loose leaf tea called TENCHA (pronounced ten-sha) Definition of matcha in japan is actually “milled tencha” This is when our tea grower gets the tea leaves -- after it has been dried and is in the stage of the process known as “tencha”
Our Tea maker has the tencha and ages it, mills it (grinds) and then packages it
The tea maker we work with recently opened a facility 100% dedicated to matcha production.
Once the maker has acquired the tencha, it is aged in fridge for several months.
The next step is grinding -- we use something called a bead mill. The bead mill uses the collision of small ball bearings in a chamber, colliding, if there’s a leaf in between balls colliding, it breaks apart..because it’s an instantaneous collision and not grinding against each other, there is no frictional heat generated, so you don't lose color or flavor (HEAT is the enemy of matcha at this stage, so our milling process is designed to create no additional, frictional heat)
Once the matcha is ground in the bead mill, it is time to pack it. We pack it using a nitrogen flushing process, which removes 100% of the oxygen from the foil bag.
