Japanese Tea Harvesting and Evaluating
Harvesting Japanese tea is a time-honored tradition that takes place once a year, usually in the spring. Farmers carefully harvest the new tea leaves, known as "first flush," from the tea bushes, making sure to choose only the freshest and most tender leaves. This process requires a great deal of skill and precision, as the quality of the tea depends on the timing of the harvest and the care taken in handling the leaves.


After the tea leaves are harvested, they are brought to a tea wholesaler for evaluation. This is a crucial step in the process, as the tea is evaluated by a master tea maker who has the expertise and experience to determine the quality of the leaves. The tea maker carefully inspects each leaf, looking for signs of freshness, color, aroma, and flavor.


On some days, the master tea maker may see more than 100 tea leaves, each with its unique qualities and characteristics. They use their knowledge and skill to choose only the best leaves, which will be used to make some of the finest teas in the world.

The selected tea leaves are then processed using traditional methods, which may include steaming, rolling, drying, and roasting. These techniques are designed to bring out the unique flavor and aroma of the tea, while preserving its natural qualities.


In the end, the process of harvesting and evaluating Japanese tea is a labor of love, driven by a passion for excellence and a commitment to quality. It is a testament to the rich cultural heritage of Japan and the enduring beauty of this ancient art form.

One of the unique aspects of Japanese tea is the way it is grown and processed. Unlike other tea-growing regions, which may use chemical fertilizers and pesticides, Japanese tea farmers often use natural methods to cultivate their crops. This results in tea that is not only healthier for consumers but also has a more complex and nuanced flavor profile.


Another key factor in the quality of Japanese tea is the soil and climate in which it is grown. The tea bushes are typically planted in mountainous regions, where they can benefit from the clean air, rich soil, and cool temperatures. These factors contribute to the unique taste and aroma of the tea, which is prized by tea connoisseurs around the world.

In addition to its flavor and health benefits, Japanese tea is also valued for its cultural significance. Tea has played a central role in Japanese society for centuries, and the tea ceremony, or "chanoyu," is a highly ritualized and respected art form. The ceremony involves the careful preparation and serving of tea, along with a host of other traditional customs and practices.


Overall, Japanese tea is a remarkable example of the intersection between culture, agriculture, and culinary art. Its rich history, distinctive flavor, and health benefits make it a beloved beverage around the world, enjoyed by millions of people who appreciate its unique qualities and the craftsmanship that goes into producing it.

My favourite

The taste is balanced And not too bitter

Thank you so much for sharing your taste review. :)

Balanced of sweetness and bitterness

This one is the perfect balance of sweetness and bitterness for me. I am not fan of bitterness of tea but this combination of sweetness and little bitt of bitterness makes me feel energetic. I smell and taste the freshness with every sip in the morning. it contains 20 grams I feel the quantity is not too much. So now I wanna try their other matcha to compare.

Hello, Amber.
Thanks for leaving a thoughtful review about our matcha.

My Favorite Matcha

I have used this Koiai matcha for 3 years now since my Japanese friend recommend. I love it! It is the best I have tasted. It's fresh and nutty as well. I used to drink coffee every morning but now I make my own Matcha lattes at home. It is very dense because it is high quality ceremonial matcha so make sure you sift matcha for creamy and foaming.

Thank you for loving KOIAI Matcha. We will share this great review with our farmers. Thank you again.

Lacking customer service

I reached out twice to Osada Tea regarding my tea order, once before I bought the tea and once after regarding the discount that I did not apply and the first time a question about radiation. I never heard from anybody on either of my questions. Also the tea that I ordered tastes really bad and I don’t know why but I just can’t drink it so I was a bit of a waste of money for me and I will not be re-ordering
