Origins: Our Matcha from Kagoshima
🍵 A Legacy of Tea and Care
At Zen Vibes Collective, every ritual begins with respect for the source. Our matcha is more than a product — it’s a tradition carried through centuries of dedication by Japanese tea farmers and artisans.
Centuries of Tea Heritage
Japan’s connection to matcha traces back to the 12th century, when Zen monks introduced powdered green tea as part of meditation practice. Over time, tea cultivation spread south, where Kagoshima’s volcanic soils and gentle climatecreated the perfect environment for thriving tea fields.
For generations, farming families in Kagoshima have tended their land with seasonal rhythms — shading the tea plants before harvest, hand-selecting the most tender leaves, and perfecting methods passed down for hundreds of years. Today, Kagoshima is not only Japan’s largest tea-producing region but also a guardian of its ancient traditions.
Grown Organically, with Respect for the Land
Our matcha is crafted from 100% organically grown tea leaves. Farmers in Kagoshima use traditional methods that avoid synthetic pesticides and chemical fertilizers, allowing the soil to remain alive and nutrient-rich.
The plants are shaded for up to four weeks before harvest, a practice that enhances their chlorophyll and amino acid content, giving the tea its vibrant green color and smooth umami flavor. By choosing organic farming, we ensure a product that is both pure for your body and gentle on the earth.
Guided by Tea Masters
Our matcha is carefully selected and blended under the guidance of experienced tea masters in Kagoshima. These artisans continue the traditions of their ancestors while incorporating modern techniques for consistency and purity. Only the most vibrant, shade-grown leaves are chosen, then slowly stone-ground into the fine, silky powder that defines ceremonial-grade matcha.
