CONSISTENT QUALITY
One of Aiya’s goals is to provide consistent quality of its Matcha grades throughout the year, as well as year-over-year. Currently, Aiya’s quality of Matcha is determined by two in-house tea sommeliers, who each have more than 40 years of experience in the field. They carefully evaluate and blend the fresh Tencha tea leaves prior to grinding to ensure consistent quality of the Matcha grades, regardless of the harvest season.
