Matcha from Kagoshima, Japan.
Due to an ongoing shortage and steep price increases for many branded Matcha products we decided to introduce a new well-balanced daily quality which is suitable for Usucha but also perfect for high-end mixed drinks like lattes and tonics. This tea is in a very comparable quality range as our Nishio Okumidori but offers the option of a sealed, flap-top tin in a compact 30g size.
Origin: Kagoshima, Japan
Cultivar: Blend (i.a. Asanoka, Sakimidori)
Shading: 21 days with direct shading
Harvest: May 2025, machine-harvested
Stone-Milled: All our Matcha is freshly milled by order and is stored at 2°C once it arrives in Germany
Taste: Slightly Nutty with notes of snow pea, vegetal moderate Umami, slightly astringent with hint of bitterness but a sweet finish
FAQ
| How fresh is this Matcha? | Our Matcha is milled in Japan in small batches close to order and stored at 2 °C from the moment it arrives in Germany. We ship from our gallery in Munich. |
| How should I store Matcha? | Unopened: cool, dark and dry — the fridge is ideal. Once opened, keep the tin or pouch tightly closed and away from light, heat and moisture, and enjoy it within a few weeks for peak aroma. |
| How do I read the best-before date? | Japanese producers usually print the best-before date in the Japanese order YY.MM.DD (year.month.day) — a package marked 27.02.05 is best before 5 February 2027. |
| How do I prepare it? | For Usucha: sift about 2 g, add 60–80 ml of water at around 80 °C and whisk in a rapid M motion until a fine foam forms. Product-specific ratios are in the description above. |
