Nishio matcha, by request.
Nishio in Aichi has grown tencha, the leaf that becomes matcha, as its main crop for over a century. Flat fields, a mild climate and mills that do nothing but matcha. We source named Nishio lots on request for partners who want a soft, sweet profile for lattes.

Why Nishio
A town that grows tencha and little else.
Most tea regions grow sencha first and shade a few fields for matcha. Nishio is the opposite: shading and tencha are the default, and the mills are built around them. The result is consistent, mild and low in bitterness, which is exactly what a milk drink wants.
