All of our teas are harvested in early summer, and the exact harvest date each year depends on the growing conditions. For the farms we select in the mild mountain climate in the Kyoto region, there is only one harvest season each year.
There is no specific harvest date for our teas. Each is a blend, from different farms and different harvest dates.
At the top of the range, in the rich category, we have the rarest, most delectable matcha blends that Ippodo produces.
At Ippodo we often suggest chocolates to pair with teas like matcha, sencha, gyokuro, and bancha. And, occasionally we will feature a tea with a chocolate dessert in a special menu in our tearooms.
