Shizune Matcha is sourced from renowned tea-growing regions across Japan — from the misty hills of Shizuoka to the heritage fields of Uji, Kyoto. We work directly with small-scale producers who share our commitment to quality over volume.
The Art of Blending
Each region of Japan brings something different to the cup. We select and blend leaves from across the country — balancing umami, aroma, and color — to create a matcha that is consistent, complex, and unmistakably Japanese.
Shizuoka
The heartland of Japanese tea, producing nearly 40% of the nation's total yield. Mountain slopes, river mists, and mineral-rich soil give Shizuoka tea its signature clean and balanced character.
The birthplace of Japanese ceremonial matcha, where shade-growing techniques were perfected centuries ago. Uji tea is prized for its refined sweetness and layered umami.
Kagoshima
Japan's second-largest tea region, where warm southern climate and volcanic soil produce vibrant, full-bodied leaves. Kagoshima's early spring harvest brings fresh intensity to every blend.
Izumo, Shimane
A hidden tea region along the Sea of Japan, shaped by cool mists and quiet dedication. Its small-farm terroir yields tea with a gentle depth found nowhere else.
Matcha, Carefully Made
No shortcuts. No compromises.
Every step in the making of Shizune Matcha — from harvest to drying, grinding, and packaging — is carried out with precision and care. Some blends use traditional stone milling. Others rely on refined modern techniques. It’s not about how old the method is. It’s about how thoughtfully it’s applied.
From Relationships, Not Just Supply Chains
Built on Trust and Shared Values
We work directly with small-scale producers who share our values of care, sustainability, and respect for the craft. These long-standing relationships are what allow us to create Shizune Matcha — authentic, traceable, and intentional.
