Yorokobi, translating to "joy" in Japanese, certainly lives up to its namesake! This exquisite matcha was first introduced in the summer of 2017.
 
Mizuba Tea Yorokobi Ceremonial Organic Matcha is one of the smoothest, most umami-filled organic matcha green teas we've encountered. While most organic matcha is very tannic and earthy, the care and attention to growing this beautiful Yorokobi result in a velvety, vegetal sweetness that is a joy to drink. We love how deep and mellow this matcha is! 
 
This artisanal Yorokobi is made of first flush Spring, single-estate (exceptionally rare!) tencha leaves that are shade-grown for 20 days prior to harvest on volcanic mountain slopes in soil known as Shirasu. Yorokobi is made of two cultivars, Okumidori & Kanayamidori.
 
Flavor Profile: A light, sweet floral silkiness evokes thoughts of Spring. Clean and full-bodied, the vegetal depth of the tea categorizes it as pure umami.
