Origin of Matcha and Gula Java Matcha from Amanprana

Matcha from Amanprana is premium Matcha of Kotobuki quality, which means ‘longevity’. It is the highest quality Matcha with extremely high nutritional value. Our Japanese supplier, ‘Aiya’, has been producing high quality Matcha and Japanese green tea since 1888 and is known for its quality, reliability and food safety. Many tea farmers have worked together with them for generations. The tea farmer cares for his fields, plants and harvest, but also for the quality of his products. Our supplier buys the entire harvest from the tea farmers in order to guarantee that their income is sustainable – also when harvests go partially unused.

In the region of origin, Nishio, Matcha tea has been produced for more than 800 years. This environment, nature and people are the capital of Matcha quality. Outstanding tea plants, the minimum standard for Matcha, only reach maturity in an exceptional environment. Nishio is the world of tea. Tea takes centre stage in this region, in the landscape as well as the economy. Certified organic Amanprana Matcha comes from the Shimoyama region, a somewhat cooler region close by. Shimoyama means ‘misty mountain’, and Kotobuki Matcha is harvested at a height of 600 metres, far removed from industry and villages in the middle of the mountains.

In the early 1970s, the president of the company had a vision: producing the highest quality Japanese green tea organically. Long before organic products became popular, he gathered the best tea farmers around him and together with them began to cultivate Matcha tea in an organic way. Their involvement in the welfare of nature over the past 15 years translated into their help (financially as well as physically) with reforestation of mangrove forests in Thailand.
