Three single-cultivar matchas across two growing regions: an introduction to how cultivar, origin, and processing each shape flavour differently.

Okumidori (40g) from Nishio, Aichi: bold and umami-forward, with a slightly astringent edge.

Saemidori (30g) (machine-harvested) from Nishio, Aichi: refreshing and vegetal, lighter in body.

KIRARI31 Iri-Matcha (20g) from Nagasaki: soft sweetness with a subtle roasted chestnut note from its unique Iri-Mushi processing, and a clean finish.

A wider range than the Tezumi Set: for those curious about how region and processing sit alongside cultivar.

All suited for Usucha and mixed drinks.

For a thick micro-foam: 1:20 (or 1:25) at 80°C. All our matcha is freshly milled by order and stored at 2°C on arrival in Germany.

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, and 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.

Single-Cultivar Matcha from Nishio

Excellently made Matcha from several unique cultivars including some hand-picked qualities for an attractive price. Also the machine-harvested Okumidori Matcha offers an affordable every-day quality.

Nishio

(Aichi, Japan )

Nishio Matcha

Nishio in Aichi Prefecture, Japan, is a renowned region for matcha production: the city shipped 334 tonnes of tencha in 2024, about 6% of Japan's 5,336 tonnes. The area's conditions (mild climate, fertile soil enriched by the Yahagi River, and consistent humidity) make it well suited to cultivating Tencha, the tea leaves used exclusively for matcha.
