Key Features

This 100% Organic Japanese Matcha – First Spring Harvest (50 g) is crafted for those seeking a trustworthy, everyday organic matcha made fully in Japan. Organic tencha grown in the Kansai region is carefully selected from first-spring harvest lots, then brought to Uji, where it is expertly blended by a tea master and stone-milled in small batches to ensure consistency, freshness, and ease of use.

By blending several organic lots rather than relying on a single cultivar, the result is a balanced and dependable profile. The matcha offers clean green notes, gentle umami, and a soft natural sweetness, with a smooth texture that whisks easily and performs reliably across different styles of preparation.

Packed in a 50 g resealable zip pouch, this matcha is intended for regular use. With a recommended serving size of 1–2 grams per bowl, each pouch provides approximately 25 to 50 servings, making it a practical and economical choice for daily matcha drinkers.

Colour
Bright, lively green with a clean, even appearance in the bowl — a visual indicator of careful leaf selection and proper stone milling.

Texture
Fine and silky, whisking smoothly into a light, creamy foam without clumping.

Aroma
Fresh young greens with hints of steamed vegetables and subtle natural sweetness.

Taste (Usucha)
Gentle umami and light sweetness on the palate, followed by clean vegetal notes and a soft, refreshing astringency that keeps the cup balanced and easy to enjoy.

From the Kansai Tea Region to Uji

The Kansai region is home to some of Japan’s most respected tea-growing areas. For this matcha, organically grown tencha is harvested during the first spring flush and gathered from selected gardens across the region. The leaves are then transported to Uji, where blending and stone milling take place under the supervision of a tea master.

Keeping every step — cultivation, processing, blending, and finishing — within Japan allows for close quality control and a transparent supply chain. The result is a dependable organic Japanese matcha that reflects regional character while remaining approachable for everyday use.

Blended for Balance & Versatility

Rather than relying on a single cultivar, this matcha is blended from several first-spring harvest lots. Blending allows the tea master to balance colour, aroma, umami, and finish so the matcha performs consistently from bowl to bowl.

This approach creates a profile that is forgiving to whisk — smooth enough for straight bowls of usucha, yet structured enough to hold its character in milk. It is an ideal choice for those who enjoy both traditional preparation and modern, everyday matcha drinks.

Organic Certification & Purity

This matcha is certified organic under Japan Agricultural Standards (JAS), ensuring it is grown without synthetic pesticides or chemical fertilisers. We work with family-owned partner farms in Japan that follow organic cultivation practices while combining traditional knowledge with modern quality controls.

The powder contains no additives, fillers, or artificial ingredients — just pure, stone-milled Japanese matcha.

Preparation & Serving Size

Preparing matcha at home is simple. For a classic cup, whisk 1–2 grams of matcha powder with hot water (not boiling) until smooth and lightly foamy. This traditional method highlights the matcha’s umami, vibrant green color, and distinctive flavor.

For a modern twist, the matcha can also be enjoyed with cold water or combined with milk to create smooth matcha lattes. Because this powder dissolves easily, it works well in both hot or cold water, making it a versatile choice for everyday use.

Health, Energy & Daily Enjoyment

Matcha green tea powder has long been valued in Japan as part of a balanced daily routine. Because matcha is made from finely ground green tea leaves, the whole leaf is consumed, naturally providing compounds such as antioxidants and chlorophyll that contribute to overall wellness.

Organic Japanese matcha contains naturally occurring caffeine alongside the amino acid L-theanine, a combination known for delivering smooth, sustained energy without the sharp jitters often associated with coffee. Many people enjoy matcha for its calm focus and steady lift, whether prepared as a traditional bowl, a matcha shot, or blended into a delicious drink.

As with any tea, individual experiences vary, but matcha is widely appreciated for supporting a sense of balance, clarity, and gentle energy throughout the day.

Versatility in Traditional & Modern Use

While this matcha is primarily designed for drinking straight, its balanced profile also allows occasional use in blended recipes. Some customers enjoy incorporating it into smoothies or lightly flavored drinks, where its vibrant color and smooth taste remain present without overpowering other ingredients.

For more intensive baking or cooking applications, a dedicated culinary grade matcha is typically preferred. This product sits comfortably between traditional and modern techniques, offering flexibility while preserving the refined character expected from Japanese matcha green tea.

Packaging & Storage

Each pouch is packed in small batches and sealed to protect the matcha from light, air, and moisture. To maintain freshness, store the pouch in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight. For longer storage, the matcha can be kept in the refrigerator, provided it is tightly sealed and protected from strong odours.
