Why Midori Spring?

It all starts with the farmers

We pride ourselves on our ability to work with Japanese farmers and producers to hand-pick the finest and darkest tea leaves for our Ceremonial Matcha. Savor luxury in every cup of our shade-grown Ceremonial Matcha. It’s not just a run-of-the-mill 1st harvest. Our tea leaves bask in the perfect balance of sun and shade, creating a flavor profile that’s simply divine. Blended in small batches for consistent taste throughout.

Shade grown before harvest

We know the key to great Organic Matcha comes from the farmer and the leaves.

Our partnered farmers specialize in creating the best shade growing conditions for optimal development of young tea leaves. By shading, the tea leaves naturally expand to collect more sunlight. This allows the tea leaves to become very soft and produce more chlorophyll giving it that vibrant green. The amino acids are maintained in the leaves during this process giving them a sweet taste and aroma. We strive to produce high L-theanine content in our leaves. Thereby creating some of the finest quality stone-ground Organic Matcha available.

Expertly curated

At Midori Spring, we’re not satisfied with just first harvest leaves – we go above and beyond to create the perfect matcha blend. We carefully test and scour various leaves until we find the one that meets our high standards for flavor, aroma, and body. This meticulous curation process ensures that every batch of our matcha is truly unique and delicious, with a taste that you won’t find anywhere else.

Perfect Creamy Cup

Our matcha is more than just delicious – it’s been expertly crafted and approved by a multi-generational tea master, or Cha Shi, with years of experience and a deep understanding of Japanese tea culture. This dedication to excellence results in a cup of matcha that’s both flavorful and organic, with a lasting taste that will leave you feeling satisfied and energized.

Did you know that Matcha is a powerful antioxidant, helping to protect your cells from damage? It also supports weight loss, improves brain function and contains high levels of L-Theanine which promotes relaxation. And that’s just the tip of the Matcha-covered iceberg! So next time you take a sip, know that you’re not just treating yourself to a delicious drink, but also to a host of surprising health benefits.

FAQs

What is Matcha?

Matcha is a fine green tea powder used for drinking or cooking. It is different from loose leaf teas because the whole tea leaf is consumed instead of just the infusion. Matcha comes from the plant Camellia Sinensis. Only authentic Matcha is made from tencha leaves (shade grown).

How much caffeine is in a cup of Matcha?

A cup of Matcha (using 1g of Matcha powder) has 35mg of caffeine compared to a cup of coffee sitting at 95-200mg of caffeine. Since Matcha contains L-Theanine, drinking Matcha has a calming and relaxing effect.

How much L-theanine is in Matcha?

The L-theanine content will always vary from batch to batch since it is organic and grown in a natural environment. Ceremonial Matcha will usually have a higher L-theanine content than culinary Matcha due to the different harvest times. Younger tea leaves from the 1st harvest have more L-theanine. Please see below as a general guideline (based on 1 gram of Matcha):

Tenryu Origins Matcha: 23.8 mg/gGold Class Matcha: 15 mg/g of L-theanineEmerald Class Matcha: 14.26 mg/g of L-theanineCulinary Class Matcha has approximately 14.26 mg/g L-theanine

My Matcha is clumped in my brand new opened tin. Is clumping normal?

Clumping is perfectly normal and the Matcha is 100% safe to consume. Since the particle size of Matcha is very small – it tends to naturally clump in humid environments or very dry environments due to static electricity. Matcha’s average moisture rate is 2 to 3%. It is highly recommended to store your Matcha in the fridge once opened or in a dark, cool, dry place. Make sure the lid is sealed tightly. If you have not opened your Matcha, it can be stored in the freezer. When you are ready to make your Matcha drink, simply use a small sifter to reduce clumping.

Is Midori Spring Matcha tested for metals and Radiation?

Yes we perform tests several times through out the year. All of our Matcha reports Cesium-134 & 137 are undetected. Heavy metals (arsenic, lead, cadmium, mercury) results <0.2 PPM.
