Description Crafted from May 2025 first-harvest leaves in Yame, Fukuoka, this matcha is designed to be a smooth and approachable introduction to high-quality ceremonial matcha. Made from Yabukita and Saeakari cultivars, it offers a vibrant green colour and flavour notes that are subtly nutty and softly floral, with a clean, refreshing finish. This is one of our most accessible ceremonial-grade options – ideal for those just beginning their matcha journey or looking for an everyday bowl. For those seeking a silkier or more refined finish, we recommend exploring our Premium Ceremonial Matcha (Signature Blend). Dairy-Free, Gluten-Free, GMO-Free, Sugar-Free, Vegan, and Vegetarian.
