Matcha Imperial, organic

An organic matcha from Kagoshima for Usucha and Koicha

Matcha Imperial, organic focuses on a calm, pure matcha cup: soft, mild, and with a clear umami side. It fits moments when you don’t want to cover the matcha but prepare it directly and mindfully.

For Usucha, it brings matcha into the cup without milk or recipe context. For Koicha, it is suitable when you want to prepare matcha pure and concentrated; the creamy note rounds out the profile, while the mild side keeps it accessible.

The matcha comes from Kagoshima, an important tea region in southern Japan. This blend uses Saemidori, Yabukita, and Okumidori: Saemidori brings a softer, greener direction, Yabukita a classic green base, and Okumidori a calm green line.

The leaves grow under Jikase-kaen, meaning direct shading on the plant, for 20 to 30 days. Asamushi, the short steaming, brings a clear, lighter structure to the tea; it is ground with Ishiusu, the granite stone mill.
