Leafmill’s matcha originates from three of China’s most prestigious tea-growing regions—Hangzhou in Zhejiang, Wuyishan in Fujian, and Enshi in Hubei. These misty, mountainous areas offer fertile soil, clean air, and a cool climate ideal for tea cultivation. Drawing on Hangzhou’s deep tea heritage, Fujian’s pristine forests, and Hubei’s aromatic green tea legacy, we carefully select small, high-elevation gardens that produce consistently pure and potent matcha leaves.

Twenty days before harvest, our tea plants are shaded with black netting to limit direct sunlight. This technique significantly increases the leaves’ amino acid and chlorophyll content, giving the matcha a brighter green color, a smoother taste, and enhanced umami depth.
