Ceremonial Grade Matcha Green Tea Powder — Haru

Haru’s confidence is a quiet force; she stands out by simply being wholly herself. Her personality is a slightly complex blend—a robust spirit with an undercurrent of toasty umami warmth. The true signature of her presence, however, is the memorable finish: an intriguing dance of sun-warmed plum that gives way to the bright, clean clarity of a green apple, leaving a lasting impression long after she's gone.
