Description

This exceptional matcha is carefully hand-picked from the 'Samidori' cultivar, a royal path of Uji type used in Matcha. Its striking greenish-blue hue brings to mind the melting of tea leaves, imparting a sense of serenity purely from its appearance. With one sip, a gentle, pure umami flavor that spreads throughout your mouth and leaves a delightful aftertaste. This elevated matcha is elegant in every way, from its stunning color to its luxurious taste. We highly recommend this matcha as the perfect option for thick tea (koicha), delivering a rich flavor and awe-inspiring taste in every cup. This single-origin matcha is cultivated by a dedicated farmer who was honored as the best in Japan at the 2021 National Tea Product Evaluation Convention.

The flavor of matcha is determined not only by the quality of the ingredients but also by its freshness. Since matcha gradually changes in quality once ground, the fresher it is from the time of manufacture, the less extraneous taste there is, and the more enjoyable it is to drink.

We grind each order individually upon receipt, typically ship out in about two business days, and deliver fresh matcha to customers worldwide by air. When the product arrives at your doorstep, it is only a few days since grinding. Please enjoy our exceptionally fresh matcha that even consumers in Japan may have yet to experience.

Matcha Direct is operated by TSUJI RIICHI HONTEN Co., LTD., a tea company in Kyoto with a history of over 160 years. We deliver freshly ground, high-quality matcha directly to customers worldwide. By doing this without intermediaries distributing our products in different countries, we can provide the same quality at a more attractive price.
