matchashop is official "Japanese Food and Ingredient Supporter Store Overseas" 
Especially the shaded leaves of the tea bush varieties Minami Sayaka, Yabukita and Oku Yutaka and the unshaded leaves of the tea bush variety Oku Midori are used for this refreshingly strong Matcha. Only the finest tea leaves of the varieties mentioned are exceptionally ground to the finest powder in a ceramic mill. The resulting powder tea is intensely green and is particularly suitable for the production of cold drinks in summer. Simply stirred into cold water or as a milk shake. Also the classical preparation with warm water results in an excellent intensive green tea.

The history of the Morimoto green tea began as the young couple founded a tiny company about forty years ago with a single, small tea garden. As the Morimotos developed into a perfect team over the years, the size of the company grew as did their experience in tea cultivation. Nowadays they manage twelve tea garden areas together and have their own production hall, which they operate almost exclusively together. During the harvest phase, tea plucker friends or also the children sometimes help in the processing.
One of many specific features of the Morimotos is that they cultivate a total of seven different tea-shrub types: Yabukita, Kanaya Midori, Oku Midori, Oku Yutaka, Minimi Sayaka, Sakimidori, and also the Assamica hybrid Benifuki. There are many different shrub types, and recently also another strain, which will possibly be the basis for the first tea of a quite a new type for a few years. This is because by mixing the leaves of different shrub types, different flavored grades of green tea are possible, which can finally be enjoyed..
Moreover, many tea shrub types also present a remarkable concept for the Morimotos: Beside their flavor-related features, different shrub types also have different qualities, that is, how they react to the climate and to pests like insects. If a shrub type is especially affected for any reason in one year, possibly by the infestation of a certain pest, then this does not signify directly the failure of the harvest in the other sections of the Morimotos‘ tea project where there are other tea shrubs. The many shrub types are also demonstrate Morimotos‘ preference for diversity.
The fact that the Morimotos think about such issues, is not unusual for Japanese “bio-farmers”. In the end, they produce “Bio” not because they hope for higher profits , or better sales opportunities, but because they look at it as a valuable purpose to grow natural tea in surroundings characterised by ecological balance.
(Here, it is not real Matcha in the literal sense, because this product is produced not from overshadowed Tencha, but from Sencha. Still we have this product on offer, because it lends itself very well in the production of mixed drinks or as cooking Matcha)
