Nishio City in Aichi Prefecture is one of Japan’s most celebrated matcha-producing regions, on par with the likes of Kyoto’s Uji. Responsible for approximately 30–35% of the country’s tencha (the raw leaf used for matcha), Nishio is recognized for both the scale and quality of its production. Its unique climate, fertile plains, and early adoption of shaded cultivation techniques make it ideal for growing premium matcha varieties such as Samidori, Yabukita, and Okumidori.
One of the defining features of Nishio Matcha is its brilliant green hue and deep, floral fragrance. This vivid color comes from high levels of chlorophyll, developed through specialized shading techniques. Once stone-ground into powder, the matcha retains this vibrant tone, making it perfect for lattes, desserts, and traditional tea ceremonies alike.
Nishio’s superior hi-ire (final drying and roasting) techniques help reduce bitterness while enhancing aroma, resulting in a smooth, full-bodied matcha with lasting freshness. These qualities make Nishio matcha highly sought after by tea artisans, culinary professionals, and food manufacturers across Japan.
Whether you’re sipping it pure or incorporating it into your favorite recipes, Nishio Matcha delivers an exceptional experience every time.
