Our Matcha Now Comes Direct!

Sat, 27 Aug 2011 13:09:05 -0300

We are pleased to announce that our matcha is now directly imported from the tea farm in Uji, Kyoto.

In the past, only our matcha, though imported from Uji, Kyoto, went through a distributor before reaching us. We are happy to say that we have finally straightened out some “technical issues” and now we get them directly from the tea farm.

Of course, there is no deterioration in quality. In fact, we will be able to provide even more consistent quality just because we are now in control of the storage conditions.

The matcha are now packed in 40g bags (in a can) and retail at $19.00...a better value.

BEFORE NOW
30g in can $15.00 40g in can $19.00

As always, we remain strongly committed to the quality of our tea. Thank you very much for your continued patronage.

ANNOUNCEMENT: To our mail-order customers, we can now accept payments by Paypal. We understand if you are not comfortable about giving us your credit card information. Paypal eliminates that need. Just let us know you want to make your purchase via Paypal and we will send you a Paypal invoice. You don’t need a Paypal account (though it is convenient if you already have one!) to make a payment.
