Discover the true essence of the Japanese art of tea with five exquisite varieties of Matcha from the Nakanishi family-each a masterpiece of tradition, dedication, and the highest quality. In the heart of Kyoto, the cradle of the Japanese tea ceremony, the Nakanishi family has been cultivating the art of Matcha for over 250 years. Their philosophy combines deep-rooted tradition with an uncompromising pursuit of excellence and sustainability.

The Nakanishi family's tea gardens are spread over four small, fully shaded plots totaling just 1.2 hectares. This manageable size allows each step of the process - from careful cultivation to meticulous hand-picking and traditional processing - to be carried out with the utmost care and dedication. Of particular note is the fact that Mr. Nakanishi only grinds and sells 50 kg of Matcha under his own name each year, underscoring the exclusivity and rarity of these teas.

The Nakanishi family places great importance on organic farming and completely avoids the use of pesticides. Since 1980, the tea garden has been gradually converted to organic cultivation and today all four plots are certified organic. To protect the plants from pests, Mr. Nakanishi relies on natural methods such as insect traps and homemade herbal extracts that act as odor repellents. These sustainable practices reflect the family's deep commitment to the environment and quality.

The Nakanishi family's five exclusive varieties of matcha are characterized by their vibrant emerald green color and umami-rich flavor that is exceptionally mild and full-bodied. Each variety offers a unique flavor profile that reflects the diversity and sophistication of true Japanese tea artistry. The limited production of each variety ensures the highest quality and sustainability, making these teas coveted rarities for matcha connoisseurs worldwide.

Each cup of Matcha from the Nakanishi family tells the story of a centuries-old tea culture and is a tribute to the knowledge and perfection of Japanese tea making passed down through generations. For those who want to enjoy matcha in its perfect form, the Nakanishi family's teas offer an unsurpassed experience.
