We're incredibly passionate about fresh matcha, which is why why we imported granite matcha mills from Japan and source the highest quality tea leaves (tencha) from Uji, in Japan's Kyoto Prefecture, home of the world's best and most respected tencha growers.

Although there are wonderful matchas to choose from, nearly all of them milled in Japan and shipped to the USA. The time between milling and being whisked into your chawan is certainly weeks and more likely months. When you purchsae from River and Stone Tea, you'll receive your matcha within days of being milled.  And once you've experienced the flavors, aromas and textures of freshly milled matcha, you'll see why we're so hooked!
