Organic Uji Matcha – Kyoto Cultivar Blend (40 g)

Description
Flavour Notes
Key Features

This Organic Uji Matcha is a first-spring harvest blend of Samidori, Yabukita, and Okumidori cultivars, sourced from carefully selected farms across Kyoto. Each lot is certified organic under the JAS standard and shade-grown before being processed into tencha and stone-milled into a fine, vibrant powder in Uji.

Blending these three Kyoto cultivars creates a cup that is naturally smooth and very easy to drink: Samidori adds colour and structure, Yabukita brings classic green-tea freshness, and Okumidori contributes gentle depth and sweetness.

Packed in a 40 g resealable pouch, this limited-release matcha is designed to be both approachable and special — perfect for daily usucha, iced matcha, and affordable yet genuinely delicious matcha lattes.

Colour: Bright, lively green with a soft, even surface in the bowl.

Texture: Fine and silky; whisks quickly to a smooth foam suitable for everyday preparation.

Aroma: Fresh young leaves, steamed greens, and a hint of sweet grain, with soft creamy notes from Okumidori and Samidori.

Taste (Usucha): Gentle umami and light sweetness, balanced by clean green notes from Yabukita. The finish is smooth and low in bitterness, making it very forgiving to whisk.

In Lattes: Holds its colour and character in milk, adding a rounded green-tea flavour without becoming harsh. Ideal for hot and iced matcha drinks.

Occasion: A versatile organic matcha for everyday bowls, afternoon pick-me-ups, and affordable matcha lattes that still showcase Kyoto cultivars.

WHY THIS MATCHA IS SPECIAL

Organic Uji Matcha – Kyoto Cultivar Blend (40 g) was created as a limited but approachable way to experience classic Kyoto matcha. By blending certified organic Samidori, Yabukita, and Okumidori lots from different farms, this matcha captures the freshness, colour, and depth that Uji is known for — without becoming too intense or expensive for daily use.

Available only from a single 2025 first-spring harvest, this release will not be repeated until after the 2026 harvest, making each pouch a snapshot of one season in Kyoto.

Together, they create an organic matcha that feels both distinctly Kyoto and easy to enjoy every day.

KYOTO CULTIVARS: SAMIDORI × YABUKITA × OKUMIDORI

Samidori is prized in Kyoto for its luminous colour and focused umami, helping to give this blend its vivid green appearance and structure.

Yabukita is Japan's most widely loved cultivar, contributing classic green-tea freshness and a clean, approachable profile that works well in many brewing styles.

Okumidori adds gentle depth and sweetness, rounding the blend so it tastes smooth and composed as usucha and in milk-based drinks.

Together, they create an organic matcha that feels both distinctly Kyoto and easy to enjoy every day.

KYOTO FARMS, SHARED TERROIR

This blend brings together organic tencha from several farms across Kyoto, each contributing its own nuance while still reflecting the broader Uji region. By working with multiple growers, we can keep the price accessible while maintaining traceable, fully Japan-grown organic production.

All lots are processed and milled in Uji, allowing close control over shading, steaming, drying, and grinding. The result is a matcha that feels honest to its origin — fresh, clean, and quietly refined.
