Harvest & Growth: 1st flush (spring) / shade-grown for 24 days / hand-picked Origin: Grown and stone-milled in Kagoshima, Kyushu (Japan) *Packaging info: our Biophotonic Glass jar makes a great reusable, airtight, light-proof and eco-friendly container to store our Matcha. Once your initial 30g batch runs out, simply purchase our 30g Refill Bags to top up your jar (read more about the light-blocking properties of this jar below). Storage: Seal package immediately after use and store in a cool dry place, away from sunlight, moisture, and strong odours. Preparing this Matcha using our Chasen Bamboo Whisk would allow optimal aeration and mixing of the powder, creating a smoother and creamier brew. For more specifications on all our grades please refer to our Grades Chart. Packaging: Biophotonic glass, also known as Miron or Violet glass, is a type of deeply colored, almost opaque glass that naturally filters the spectrum of visible sunlight, only allowing through Infra-Red and UVA light, or ‘violet’ light. Because of its natural ability to block light, Biophotonic glass protects precious contents from perishing in sunlight, increasing their shelf life and effectiveness.
