MATCHA ANSHUN

Notes - Fresh Cream | Roasted Cashew | Crisp Greens

MATCHA ANSHUN is a ceremonial grade Chinese matcha grown in Guizhou at a high-elevation farm built for precision matcha production. Cultivars include Yabukita and purpose-bred Chinese types selected for color, umami, and low bitterness. Shade-grown for 21 days and bead-milled on-site using Japanese equipment, this matcha delivers clean flavor and reliability.

Format

MATCHA ANSHUN is grown in Guizhou, China at the high-elevation Anshun Royal Tea Garden. Though its origin may be unexpected, its quality isn’t. This is a clean, vibrant matcha—designed to perform at the ceremonial level, priced for daily use.
The farm’s cultivars include Yabukita, a familiar Japanese staple, alongside modern Chinese types selected for high chlorophyll, umami, and low bitterness. The leaves are shade-grown under full canopy for 21 days before harvest, then processed entirely on-site.

Milling is done unabashedly with bead mills—a faster alternative to stone that still protects texture and aroma. Sorting, sifting, and final packing all take place in a modern facility equipped with Japanese machines. The result is a matcha that meets the demands of serious preparation, with the consistency to support high-volume service.

We offer MATCHA ANSHUN as a counterpart to our Japanese matchas—not as a replacement, but as a reliable, high-performing option when those teas are in short supply and as a foil to compare flavors and terroir between both storied regions.
