What is Umami?

The simple literal translation of Umami is - pleasant or beautiful taste.  However, Umami is also known as the "fifth taste" along with sweet, sour, bitter and salty.  The meaning of Umami in this context doesn’t exist in English.  It is the full, complex, intense, full-bodied flavor profile that is found in matcha thanks to the high amino acid content.  The better the quality of tea, the higher the amino acid content, the more umami flavor.  Umami Matcha is made from the very finest Japanese tea and thus full of umami.  

OUR MATCHA GREEN TEA

  • Umami Matcha is grown in the town of Nishio which is in the Aichi prefecture of Japan. Thanks to its elevation, fertile soil, pristine waters,  seclusion and perfect growing climate, Nishio is known for producing the highest quality Matcha dating back to the 13th century.    
  • Umami Matcha  is grown under three layers of shade cover for four weeks to maximize the leaves’ tenderness, antioxidant, amino acid, chlorophyll and  nutrient content.
  • Our Matcha is handpicked, then stone ground slowly using traditional, hand carved granite mills.
  • We work closely with our 4th generation, family run producer to ensure the highest quality and most authentic Japanese matcha.
  • Our matcha is not only some of the finest in the world, but it is also some of the safest matcha in the world.  Umami Matcha is Non-GMO and is regularly 3rd party tested for heavy metals, pesticides and radiation to ensure our product is as safe as it is delicious.
