Ceremonial Grade Signature Matcha

Our name, Kizuna (絆), means "connection" or "bond", which represents the strong connections we have made both with our partners and our customers.

Based in Kyoto, Kizuna supports a thriving network of family-run tea farms across Japan's premiere growing regions, who have been cultivating high quality matcha and supplying Japan's domestic market since 1858. In 2015, Kizuna opened its first sales office here in the U.S., offering artisanal, conventionally grown matcha under the Kizuna brand name, and certified organic matcha under the Jade Leaf brand name. In 2018, we further increased our export capability to serve wholesale customers with both conventional and organic matcha.

Matcha is produced across Japan, and we have spent decades forging relationships with farmers in all major growing regions. Family-owned partner farms fuse traditional and modern techniques to cultivate leaves brimming with flavor and nutrients. Our tea masters then bring together carefully selected leaves from each harvest to create a unique, well rounded flavor profile not found anywhere else.

Ground from late harvest tea leaves, our Ingredient Grade Matcha has a more pronounced green tea bitter note. It’s best used as a healthy boost in smoothies, baked goods, supplements, and other prepared foods.

Recommended Uses:
smoothies, baking, supplements, food production
