From Japanese organic crops
The quality of Matcha green tea varies and also depends on the type of plantation used for cultivation. The main plantation varieties are: Yabukita, Okumidori, Samudori and Asahi.
Yabukita is certainly the main plantation variety from which the finest and best Matcha tea is obtained.
NaturaleBio Matcha Tea comes from Yakubita plantations .
Hilly and mountainous areas are ideal for growing an excellent quality of Matcha. Matcha tea is harvested around mid-May, but 15-20 days before, Japanese growers protect the plantations from the sun. In ancient times, they used straw, but today black curtains are used to protect the plantation from the sun's rays. This cultivation method preserves all the properties of Matcha tea intact and unaltered. Protecting the tea leaves from the sun means maintaining high levels of chlorophyll and theanine, this process is essential to preserve the beneficial properties of tea.

Heat the milk (but don't boil it!). Pour the matcha with the help of the Chashaku into a nice large cup and add the sugar.
