An extra early harvest from the popular tea farm on Yakushima Island, Kagoshima, Japan, this blend by farmer Watanabe-san is an exquisite taste of umami as a lightly steamed sencha. Package may differ from photo.
\nSteaming: Asamushi, or lightly steamed. This results a leaf that is kept more intact than longer steaming, and therefore results in a clearer, liquid that extracts more slowly from the leaf for multiple steepings. This type of steaming is usually reserved for higher quality leaf.
\n
\nOrganic certification: Note to wholesale customers, this product is grown and processed to JAS organic certification. Please contact us for proper organic export documentation. Minimum purchase may be required.
We recommend the warm water steeping method for this Yakushima Shincha. Steep it in a small amount at low temperature to enjoy the umami flavors more distinctly, then again at higher temperatures to release more flavors.

A very well-balanced, single-origin sencha that stays flavorful across multiple steeps, you may be pleasantly surprised by your 4th steep. Cultivated by the Tarui family in their mountainous fields of Shizuoka Prefecture. The Yamakai cultivar is a cultivar with a unique aroma and one that is part of the Shizu-7000 series. While this cultivar is usually cultivated for shaded teas (such as gyokuro), the Tarui Tea Farm offers you an unshaded sencha.
\n
Besides Tarui-san's commitment to organic tea farming, they also take pride in growing different varieties and their Shurei (single origin Yamakai cultivar) is definitely one rare and flavorful sencha to try!

This organic sencha Ranryu is made from a rare cultivar called Inzatsu #131, born from the Indian Assam Manipuri #5 cultivar and an unknown father. This cultivar is characterized by its unique floral fragrance, as it contains the aromatic component methyl anthranilate (reminiscent of roses and jasmine). That is how this intriguing tea from Tarui Tea Farm received the name \"Ranryu\", which translates to \"Orchid Dragon\".

Steeping Notes
\n
Consider also cold steeping or ice steeping (seeSteeping Techniques). The main thing to note is that lower water temperatures create a sweeter flavor profile while hotter temperatures create a more bitter, astringent profile. More water or less tea will reduce the strength of the tea.
3rd steeping - Increase time to 30-60 seconds or to desired strength.

An ambrosia of umami flavor recalling the mists of Mt. Fuji, 180-year old Shogyokuen Tea Factory's Fuji no Tsuyu, is a premium gyokuro, the best of Japan.
The first steeping parameter is meant to extract an umami syrup, an ambrosia of tea. Feel free to adjust the water amount, temperature etc to see what delicious flavors can be extracted. Subsequent steeps may be enjoyed as a sencha steeping a full cup for 30 seconds at 70˚C/158˚F degrees.
\n
Another way to achieve this tea ambrosia is by allowing ice to melt over the leaf, our favorite way of enjoying this leaf in fact while with friends. You make a few drops at a time every 30 minutes, and spend a leisurely entire afternoon enjoying the leaf.

An ambrosia of umami flavor recalling the mists of Mt. Fuji, 180-year old Shogyokuen Tea Factory's Fuji no Tsuyu, is a premium gyokuro, the best of Japan.
The first steeping parameter is meant to extract an umami syrup, an ambrosia of tea. Feel free to adjust the water amount, temperature etc to see what delicious flavors can be extracted. Subsequent steeps may be enjoyed as a sencha steeping a full cup for 30 seconds at 70˚C/158˚F degrees.
\n
Another way to achieve this tea ambrosia is by allowing ice to melt over the leaf, our favorite way of enjoying this leaf in fact while with friends. You make a few drops at a time every 30 minutes, and spend a leisurely entire afternoon enjoying the leaf.

Product Info
\n
\n
Name: Premium Gyokuro, Fuji no Tsuyu
\n
Japanese name: 本玉露 富士の露
\n
Ingredients: Green tea
\n
Harvest: May
\n
Region: Kyotanabe, Kyoto. Refined in Kyotanabe, Kyoto.
\n
Notes: Shaded for about 3 weeks before harvest. This product is meant to have the same flavor profile year round, as each batch is reformulated by Kobayashi-san to ensure flavor consistency.
Meet the fresh batch of Tomizawa Tea Garden Shincha, harvested in 2024 and certified organic by JAS. Enjoy pure, natural flavors with every sip, knowing you're supporting sustainable farming practices.
\n
From the fields of family-operated tea farm, Tomizawa Tea Garden, a shincha shaded for about 2 weeks before early May harvest (making it a kabusecha). The Yabukita tea cultivar is the standard in the tea industry for providing great flavor (enhanced by the shading).
\n
As a steamed tamaryokucha (or guricha), the leaves are not rolled into straight needles as you would see with sencha, but rather left slightly curled by skipping the last rolling step.
\n
Steeping Notes
\n
\n
Tea: 3-5 grams
\n
\nTime: 1 minute
\n
\nWater temperature: 60C/140F degrees
\n
\nWater amount: 1 cup
\n
Resteep at hotter temperature up to 3 times. We recommend the second steep to be quick -- in and out, since the leaves are primed for extraction.
\n
Use hotter temperature & longer steeping time for a more astringent tea, use cold water or ice steeping for a very sweet tea.

Tomizawa Tea garden also had been affected by this earthquake losing their tea shop. However, they used this opportunity to rebuild their shop in 2018, calling it the Greentea.Lab.
For an intense, but silky smooth matcha latte, or for a decent straight matcha (usucha), our Naruto Barista Grade (or Latte Grade) Matcha balances savory umami and fresh notes of grassy meadows that allow the matcha to stand out when blending with milk.

\n
Grinding Dates
\n
Grinding dates are an important factor in determining the quality of the matcha as the powder degrades in flavor, aroma and color over time. We are ordering production of this product every 1-2 months, so you may assume that no more than 3 months have past since grinding.
\n
Naturally Grown Label
\n
The \"Naturally Grown\" series are products chosen by Yunomi Tea Merchant Ian that have been verified to be grown without use of pesticides / synthetic fertilizers.
\n
\n
Products may also be certified organic according to the Japanese JAS standard, so custom production requests (10kg+) can be certified organic under equivalency agreements with USA, EU, Canada, etc.
Based on our own tasting, this product has the following profile - created with 3g of matcha, 100 ml of water, 70C degrees. However, tastings are not conducted side by side, and there are many factors that may affect thequality you yourself taste: age of the matcha after grinding, different water profiles, ambient temperature, preparation styles, etc. Please use this profile as a simple reference.

Product Details
\n
\n
\nIngredients: Green tea.
\n
\nHarvest: Spring
\n
\nCultivation: Grown without use of pesticides / synthetic fertilizers. Shaded for 3-4 weeks before harvest.
\nCertifications: JAS organic certified versions are possible but require additional documentation on both import and export sides.
\n
\nStorage: We recommend storing one 30-gram bag at room temperature for daily use in the screw top can or resealable bag, and the remaining in your freezer for long-term storage if you buy more than one at once. NOTE: For freezer storage, double-seal in a plastic ziplock bag and tupperware container for maximum freshness and to avoid other food smells from affecting the matcha. Always allow the bag to sit for 24-hours before unsealing to acclimate to room temperature. This avoids condensation from damaging the matcha powder.
\n
\n
How much does 30 grams of matcha make?
\n
It depends on how thick you make your matcha and how much you make, but if you use 1 gram (about 1/3 teaspoon) to make a 100 ml cup, that's 30 cups of matcha!
\n
Did you know matcha is best when it's freshly ground?
\n
How good your matcha is depends of course on the quality of the underlying leaf. However, producers buy many different production lots from many different farmers. Their skill, the reason why we call them master blenders, is in blending the leaves prior to grinding to create a specific profile in terms of powder color, powder aroma, grain size,matcha color, andmost importantly the flavor of the matcha.
\n
While the harvest season can make a big difference in quality since larger autumn leaves will be more bitter and more difficult to grind into fine powder, the harvest year is not necessarily important particularly right after the spring harvest (May - August). At this time, leaves may actually be too fresh to make good matcha--their flavor may create matcha that is very strong in umami but also too bitter.Meanwhile, leaves that have aged over the past yearwillbemore mellowand perfect for balancing the fresh leaf.
\n
Matcha however does get old quickly after grinding. In 6 months after grinding the color will fade, and the aroma will disappear. After 9 months, the strength of the flavor will also fade.As a result, higher grade matcha tends to have a best by date of 3-6 months, while lower grade matcha has a best by date of 12 months in Japan. Western brands often have a 18-24 month shelf life though.
\n
As a rule, we do our best to ensure that the Yunomi branded matcha is never older the 6 months from grinding, and that matcha other brands are never older than 6 months from procurement.

For an intense, but silky smooth matcha latte, or for a decent straight matcha (usucha), our Naruto Barista Grade (or Latte Grade) Matcha balances savory umami and fresh notes of grassy meadows that allow the matcha to stand out when blending with milk.

\n
Grinding Dates
\n
Grinding dates are an important factor in determining the quality of the matcha as the powder degrades in flavor, aroma and color over time. We are ordering production of this product every 1-2 months, so you may assume that no more than 3 months have past since grinding.
\n
Naturally Grown Label
\n
The \"Naturally Grown\" series are products chosen by Yunomi Tea Merchant Ian that have been verified to be grown without use of pesticides / synthetic fertilizers.
\n
\n
Products may also be certified organic according to the Japanese JAS standard, so custom production requests (10kg+) can be certified organic under equivalency agreements with USA, EU, Canada, etc.
Based on our own tasting, this product has the following profile - created with 3g of matcha, 100 ml of water, 70C degrees. However, tastings are not conducted side by side, and there are many factors that may affect thequality you yourself taste: age of the matcha after grinding, different water profiles, ambient temperature, preparation styles, etc. Please use this profile as a simple reference.
\n
\n
\nUmami: 10/20 (20 being the richest umami)
\n
\nCreaminess: 10/20 (20 being the creamiest)
\n
\nLack of Astringency: 9/20 (20 being least astringent)
\n
\nLack of Bitterness: 10/20 (20 being least bitter)
\n
\nTexture: 6/10 (10 being the smoothest grinding)
\n
\nColor: 6/10 (10 having the greenest, most vibrant color)

Product Details
\n
\n
\nIngredients: Green tea.
\n
\nHarvest: Spring
\n
\nCultivation: Grown without use of pesticides / synthetic fertilizers. Shaded for 3-4 weeks before harvest.
\nCertifications: JAS organic certified versions are possible but require additional documentation on both import and export sides.
\n
\nStorage: We recommend storing one 30-gram bag at room temperature for daily use in the screw top can or resealable bag, and the remaining in your freezer for long-term storage if you buy more than one at once. NOTE: For freezer storage, double-seal in a plastic ziplock bag and tupperware container for maximum freshness and to avoid other food smells from affecting the matcha. Always allow the bag to sit for 24-hours before unsealing to acclimate to room temperature. This avoids condensation from damaging the matcha powder.
\n
\n
How much does 30 grams of matcha make?
\n
It depends on how thick you make your matcha and how much you make, but if you use 1 gram (about 1/3 teaspoon) to make a 100 ml cup, that's 30 cups of matcha!
\n
Did you know matcha is best when it's freshly ground?
\n
How good your matcha is depends of course on the quality of the underlying leaf. However, producers buy many different production lots from many different farmers. Their skill, the reason why we call them master blenders, is in blending the leaves prior to grinding to create a specific profile in terms of powder color, powder aroma, grain size,matcha color, andmost importantly the flavor of the matcha.
\n
While the harvest season can make a big difference in quality since larger autumn leaves will be more bitter and more difficult to grind into fine powder, the harvest year is not necessarily important particularly right after the spring harvest (May - August). At this time, leaves may actually be too fresh to make good matcha--their flavor may create matcha that is very strong in umami but also too bitter.Meanwhile, leaves that have aged over the past yearwillbemore mellowand perfect for balancing the fresh leaf.
\n
Matcha however does get old quickly after grinding. In 6 months after grinding the color will fade, and the aroma will disappear. After 9 months, the strength of the flavor will also fade.As a result, higher grade matcha tends to have a best by date of 3-6 months, while lower grade matcha has a best by date of 12 months in Japan. Western brands often have a 18-24 month shelf life though.
\n
As a rule, we do our best to ensure that the Yunomi branded matcha is never older the 6 months from grinding, and that matcha other brands are never older than 6 months from procurement.
Creating organic gyokuro has been something of a holy grail for those interested. Why? Due to the heavy fertilization that is necessary to produce the richness in gyokuro, it has been very difficult to achieve using organic fertilizers. This attempt by Nishide-san and the farmers he works with is quite decent with rich umami flavors that spread across the tongue.
\n
This Nishide OG18 gyokuro was made from two cultivars that are from the Kyoto prefecture: Gokou and Ujimidori. These two cultivars were especially developed to suit the soil and climate of Kyoto prefecture. Both are cultivars that are very appropriate for shading. That is why they are often made into gyokuro or matcha. With the gokou cultivar known for its' rich umami and the Ujimidori characteristic of its aromatic characteristics (floral, creamy aroma), please delight in the dance of these two cultivars! Oh, and please don't forget to enjoy across multiple (3-4) steeps.

This spring-harvested, naturally grown tamaryokucha was harvested around the 88th night (hachijyu-hachiya). It has long been said that drinking tea picked on the 88th night is fortuitous, it brings good health and longevity. This mountain grown tea from the Dokodemosora tea farm located in Kumano, Wakayama prefecture is full of nutrients, smooth, and comes with a good balance of sweetness and astringency. It also has a refreshing note, so one could also enjoy it cold brewed on hot summer days. This tea was grown by tea farmer Dai Oizumi, without the use of pesticides.
\n
What is tamaryokucha?
\n
Tamaryokucha (玉緑茶 literally \"ball-green-tea\") is a major tea category drunk primarily in the southern Japanese island of Kyushu (e.g., Kagoshima, Fukuoka, Saga). It can be pan-fired (kamairi tamaryokucha) or steamed (mushiguri or guricha), but the key characteristic is the skipping of the last rolling process so that the leaves are curled instead of straight. The flavor of tamaryokucha is similar to sencha, but is (in general) less astringent and soft.

This spring-harvested, naturally grown tamaryokucha was harvested around the 88th night (hachijyu-hachiya). It has long been said that drinking tea picked on the 88th night is fortuitous, it brings good health and longevity. This mountain grown tea from the Dokodemosora tea farm located in Kumano, Wakayama prefecture is full of nutrients, smooth, and comes with a good balance of sweetness and astringency. It also has a refreshing note, so one could also enjoy it cold brewed on hot summer days. This tea was grown by tea farmer Dai Oizumi, without the use of pesticides.

What is tamaryokucha?
\n
Tamaryokucha (玉緑茶 literally \"ball-green-tea\") is a major tea category drunk primarily in the southern Japanese island of Kyushu (e.g., Kagoshima, Fukuoka, Saga). It can be pan-fired (kamairi tamaryokucha) or steamed (mushiguri or guricha), but the key characteristic is the skipping of the last rolling process so that the leaves are curled instead of straight. The flavor of tamaryokucha is similar to sencha, but is (in general) less astringent and soft.

Kyoto Obubu Tea Farm's most premium green tea, Kabuse Sencha is shaded for 2 weeks to create a rich, syrupy tea because the leaves are so delicate.
\n\n
Obubu's most premium green tea, Kabuse Sencha (かぶせ煎茶) is a kabusecha or shaded tea, and can be steeped into a rich syrupy tea using a warm water steeping technique because the leaves are so delicate and tender. Using a standard boiling water steeping method, and the taste is delicate and sweet.Grown by covering the tea plants just after new leaves begin to sprout in early May, the shade reduces sunlight by as much as 85% to encourage the plants to produce wide, tender, chlorophyll-rich tea leaves. Two weeks later they are harvested and processed ready for shipping by the end of the month. Obubu's Kabuse Sencha is grown at a relatively high altitude for the region (500 m or 1640 ft) on southeast facing slopes providing good exposure to the sun (an important combination for shaded tea!).

Kyoto Obubu Tea Farm's most premium green tea, Kabuse Sencha is shaded for 2 weeks to create a rich, syrupy tea because the leaves are so delicate.
\n\n
Obubu's most premium green tea, Kabuse Sencha (かぶせ煎茶) is a kabusecha or shaded tea, and can be steeped into a rich syrupy tea using a warm water steeping technique because the leaves are so delicate and tender. Using a standard boiling water steeping method, and the taste is delicate and sweet.Grown by covering the tea plants just after new leaves begin to sprout in early May, the shade reduces sunlight by as much as 85% to encourage the plants to produce wide, tender, chlorophyll-rich tea leaves. Two weeks later they are harvested and processed ready for shipping by the end of the month. Obubu's Kabuse Sencha is grown at a relatively high altitude for the region (500 m or 1640 ft) on southeast facing slopes providing good exposure to the sun (an important combination for shaded tea!).

To obtain the best of the best in the world of matcha production, you walk an extra mile to gain an inch. The Heritage Grade label that Yunomi gives to the best and richest matcha products also requires a very specific set of production criteria:
\n\n
Leaves must be shaded for 4 weeks or more
\n
Leaves must be shaded under a canopy, not directly, preventing the shading material from causing damage to the leaves, and allowing the plant to grow freely.
\n
This also allows the plant to be handpicked, and the handpicking must occur in the spring.
\n
The picked leaves must be steamed and dried into leaf flakes called tencha using a tencha roasting facility.
\n
The tencha must be refined to remove leaf stems and veins, then chopped into small even pieces for grinding
There's another step we often don't talk about. That is, as a crop, tea leaves will inevitably vary from year to year. To consistently create the same amazing flavor profile year after year is the role of a master blender, and Shogyokuen's CEO Hiroshi Kobayashi is a blender whose ability to appraise tea leaves is matched only by a handful of industry professional in Japan.
\n
Shogyokuen's Heritage Grade Matcha products utilizes leaves cultivated by the Kobayashi's themselves on a dedicated tea field.

About the Nakai family
\n
Since the late 17th century, the Nakai family has been cultivating tea in the village of Wazuka, Kyoto. The 6th tea master, Masao Nakai, began organic and non-pesticide cultivation in 1980, a time when few people were concerned about producing organically.

About the Nakai family
\n
Since the late 17th century, the Nakai family has been cultivating tea in the village of Wazuka, Kyoto. The 6th tea master, Masao Nakai, began organic and non-pesticide cultivation in 1980, a time when few people were concerned about producing organically. Aiming to create an agricultural system that coexists with the natural environment of the beautiful mountains, Nakai-san was a pioneer in the tea industry of Kyoto. His son, 7th tea master Michio Nakai, continues this tradition today.

From the fields of family-operated tea farm, Tomizawa Tea Garden, a green tea shaded for about 2 weeks before early May harvest (making it a kabusecha). The Saemidori tea cultivar is has been the most popular cultivar among tea connoisseurs in Japan in recent years due to its bright color and sweet flavor, both enhanced by shading. This saemidori kabusecha has a rich sweetness followed by a refreshing sweetness, leaving a sweet aftertaste in your mouth. The tea has very little bitterness or astringency.
\n
As a steamed tamaryokucha (or guricha), the leaves are not rolled into straight needles as you would see with sencha, but rather left slightly curled by skipping the last rolling step.

Resteep at hotter temperature up to 3 times. We recommend the second steep to be quick -- in and out, since the leaves are primed for extraction.

The Saemidori tea cultivar is has been the most popular cultivar among tea connoisseurs in Japan in recent years due to its bright color and sweet flavor, both enhanced by shading. This saemidori kabusecha has a rich sweetness followed by a refreshing sweetness, leaving a sweet aftertaste in your mouth. The tea has very little bitterness or astringency.
\n
As a steamed tamaryokucha (or guricha), the leaves are not rolled into straight needles as you would see with sencha, but rather left slightly curled by skipping the last rolling step.
\n
Steeping Notes
\n
\n
Tea: 3-5 grams
\n
\nTime: 1 minute
\n
\nWater temperature: 60C/140F degrees
\n
\nWater amount: 1 cup
\n
Resteep at hotter temperature up to 3 times. We recommend the second steep to be quick -- in and out, since the leaves are primed for extraction.
\n
Use hotter temperature & longer steeping time for a more astringent tea, use cold water or ice steeping for a very sweet tea.

The most common type of tea plant in Japan is the Yabukita cultivar, said to make up 80% of Japan's sencha production. Developed by research Hikosaburo Sugiyama in 1954 at the Shizuoka Prefectural Tea Industry Laboratory, it was selected as the recommended tea plant for the prefecture, and over the decades was adopted across Japan. In 1999, as much as 95.6% of Japan's tea farms cultivated tea from the Yabukita tea plant cultivar. Yabukita is so highly utilized because it produces a very good quality leaf in addition to adapting well to various climates, soils, and producing a high yield.

The most common type of tea plant in Japan is the Yabukita cultivar, said to make up 80% of Japan's sencha production. Developed by research Hikosaburo Sugiyama in 1954 at the Shizuoka Prefectural Tea Industry Laboratory, it was selected as the recommended tea plant for the prefecture, and over the decades was adopted across Japan. In 1999, as much as 95.6% of Japan's tea farms cultivated tea from the Yabukita tea plant cultivar. Yabukita is so highly utilized because it produces a very good quality leaf in addition to adapting well to various climates, soils, and producing a high yield.

A blended, unshaded sencha coming from well-known tea farmer Uejima-san's Wazuka tea fields. The two cultivars, okumidori and tsuyuhikari both originate from Shizuoka prefecture. Okumidori, which one may be more familiar with is a well-rounded and mellow cultivar which perhaps does best when combined with another cultivar (of course, this depends on personal preference!). Uejima-san combined this Wazuka sencha premium with the tsuyuhikari (meaning \"dew light\") cultivar which is known for its high umami taste and refreshing color. It also has a fresh aroma and is delicately floral. Yes, this sencha is a dance of these two cultivars coming from the famous tea producing region of Wazuka!
Noriyasu Uejima is a tea master. In the 90+ year old tea tasting competition held in Kyoto, he is the only winner to ever achieve a perfect score. Cultivating and processing some of Kyoto's finest teas, the Ritz Carlton Hotel of Kyoto features his teas in their line up for guests. He is the 5th generation master farmer carrying on a tradition that dates back to the mid-19th century when his ancestor started the Uejima family as a branch family of an even older main family. The farm also operates the Wazuka Village's Wazuka Cha Cafe.

A blended, unshaded sencha coming from well-known tea farmer Uejima-san's Wazuka tea fields. The two cultivars, okumidori and tsuyuhikari both originate from Shizuoka prefecture. Okumidori, which one may be more familiar with is a well-rounded and mellow cultivar which perhaps does best when combined with another cultivar (of course, this depends on personal preference!). Uejima-san combined this Wazuka sencha premium with the tsuyuhikari (meaning \"dew light\") cultivar which is known for its high umami taste and refreshing color. It also has a fresh aroma and is delicately floral. Yes, this sencha is a dance of these two cultivars coming from the famous tea producing region of Wazuka!
Noriyasu Uejima is a tea master. In the 90+ year old tea tasting competition held in Kyoto, he is the only winner to ever achieve a perfect score. Cultivating and processing some of Kyoto's finest teas, the Ritz Carlton Hotel of Kyoto features his teas in their line up for guests. He is the 5th generation master farmer carrying on a tradition that dates back to the mid-19th century when his ancestor started the Uejima family as a branch family of an even older main family. The farm also operates the Wazuka Village's Wazuka Cha Cafe.

\n
\nIngredients: Green tea.
\n
\nHarvest: Spring
\n
\nPackaging: Silver plastic bag inside resealable outer bag.
\n
\nRegion:Cultivated and ground in Ujitawara, Kyoto, Japan.
\n
\nStorage: We recommend storing one 30-gram bag at room temperature for daily use in the screw top can or resealable bag, and the remaining in your freezer for long-term storage if you buy more than one at once. NOTE: For freezer storage, double-seal in a plastic ziplock bag and tupperware container for maximum freshness and to avoid other food smells from affecting the matcha. Always allow the bag to sit for 24-hours before unsealing to acclimate to room temperature. This avoids condensation from damaging the matcha powder.
\n
\n
How much does 30 grams of matcha make?
\n
It depends on how thick you make your matcha and how much you make, but if you use 1 gram (about 1/3 teaspoon) to make a 100 ml cup, that's 30 cups of matcha!
\n
Did you know matcha is best when it's freshly ground?
\n
How good your matcha is depends of course on the quality of the underlying leaf. However, producers buy many different production lots from many different farmers. Their skill, the reason why we call them master blenders, is in blending the leaves prior to grinding to create a specific profile in terms of powder color, powder aroma, grain size, matcha color, and most importantly the flavor of the matcha.
\n
While the harvest season can make a big difference in quality since larger autumn leaves will be more bitter and more difficult to grind into fine powder, the harvest year is not necessarily important particularly right after the spring harvest (May - August). At this time, leaves may actually be too fresh to make good matcha--their flavor may create matcha that is very strong in umami but also too bitter. Meanwhile, leaves that have aged over the past year will be more mellow and perfect for balancing the fresh leaf.
\n
Matcha however does get old quickly after grinding. In 6 months after grinding the color will fade, and the aroma will disappear. After 9 months, the strength of the flavor will also fade. As a result, higher grade matcha tends to have a best by date of 3-6 months, while lower grade matcha has a best by date of 12 months in Japan. Western brands often have a 18-24 month shelf life though.

As a rule, we do our best to ensure that the Yunomi branded matcha is never older the 6 months from grinding, and that matcha other brands are never older than 6 months from procurement.

\nProduct Details \n
\n
\n
\nIngredients: Green tea.
\n
\nHarvest: Spring
\n
\nPackaging: Silver plastic bag inside resealable outer bag.
\n
\nRegion:Cultivated and ground in Ujitawara, Kyoto, Japan.
\n
\nStorage: We recommend storing one 30-gram bag at room temperature for daily use in the screw top can or resealable bag, and the remaining in your freezer for long-term storage if you buy more than one at once. NOTE: For freezer storage, double-seal in a plastic ziplock bag and tupperware container for maximum freshness and to avoid other food smells from affecting the matcha. Always allow the bag to sit for 24-hours before unsealing to acclimate to room temperature. This avoids condensation from damaging the matcha powder.
\n
\n
How much does 30 grams of matcha make?
\n
It depends on how thick you make your matcha and how much you make, but if you use 1 gram (about 1/3 teaspoon) to make a 100 ml cup, that's 30 cups of matcha!
\n
Did you know matcha is best when it's freshly ground?
\n
How good your matcha is depends of course on the quality of the underlying leaf. However, producers buy many different production lots from many different farmers. Their skill, the reason why we call them master blenders, is in blending the leaves prior to grinding to create a specific profile in terms of powder color, powder aroma, grain size, matcha color, and most importantly the flavor of the matcha.
\n
While the harvest season can make a big difference in quality since larger autumn leaves will be more bitter and more difficult to grind into fine powder, the harvest year is not necessarily important particularly right after the spring harvest (May - August). At this time, leaves may actually be too fresh to make good matcha--their flavor may create matcha that is very strong in umami but also too bitter. Meanwhile, leaves that have aged over the past year will be more mellow and perfect for balancing the fresh leaf.
\n
Matcha however does get old quickly after grinding. In 6 months after grinding the color will fade, and the aroma will disappear. After 9 months, the strength of the flavor will also fade. As a result, higher grade matcha tends to have a best by date of 3-6 months, while lower grade matcha has a best by date of 12 months in Japan. Western brands often have a 18-24 month shelf life though.
\n
As a rule, we do our best to ensure that the Yunomi branded matcha is never older the 6 months from grinding, and that matcha other brands are never older than 6 months from procurement.

\n
Delicious fukamushicha, or deep-steamed tea, from the Village of Ei in Kagoshima Prefecture. Together with the Villages of Chiran and Kawabe, the entire region is known as the Chiran region producing world famous Chirancha (Tea from Chiran). The first flush tends to be characterised by an excellent balance between delicate flavor and reasonable pricing, a gem hiding quietly waiting to be discovered.
\n
About the cultivar: Yutaka Midori (ゆたかみどり) means abundant green in Japanese. It is a cultivar that is mostly found in Kagoshima prefecture (30% cultivated area) as it is a cultivar that is suitable for warm weather. This cultivar ranks second after the Yabukita cultivar with respect to cultivation area and popularity in Japan. While producers often mix the Yutaka Midori with other cultivars, a single cultivar tea will give a deep green color with a balanced astringency and sweetness and pleasant fragrance.

Delicious fukamushicha, or deep-steamed tea, from the Village of Ei in Kagoshima Prefecture. Together with the Villages of Chiran and Kawabe, the entire region is known as the Chiran region producing world famous Chirancha (Tea from Chiran). The first flush tends to be characterised by an excellent balance between delicate flavor and reasonable pricing, a gem hiding quietly waiting to be discovered.
\n
About the cultivar: Yutaka Midori (ゆたかみどり) means abundant green in Japanese. It is a cultivar that is mostly found in Kagoshima prefecture (30% cultivated area) as it is a cultivar that is suitable for warm weather. This cultivar ranks second after the Yabukita cultivar with respect to cultivation area and popularity in Japan. While producers often mix the Yutaka Midori with other cultivars, a single cultivar tea will give a deep green color with a balanced astringency and sweetness and pleasant fragrance.

Steeping notes
\n
\n
\nFirst steeping - Tea: 3 grams.Time: 3-5 minutes.Water: 50C/122F, 80 ml. The purpose of this steep is to create an rich, umami syrup-like broth.
\n
\nSecond steeping-Time: immediate.Water: 70-90C/160-195F, 200 ml In subsequent steeps, you've already primed the leaves and extracted much of the umami, so enjoy the other flavors with water at hotter temperatures.
\n
\nThird / fourth steeping - Time:30-60 seconds.Water: 70-90C/160-195F, 200 ml
\n
Remember, steeping at a hotter temperature extracts caffeine and bitter-tasting catechin (antioxidants) while cooler temperature extracts only the umami-tasting L-theanine and other sweet flavors. Since the bitter flavors overwhelm the umami flavors, we recommend the above.
\n
Also try cold steeping as well as ice steeping!

Steeping notes
\n
\n
\nFirst steeping - Tea: 3 grams.Time: 3-5 minutes.Water: 50C/122F, 80 ml. The purpose of this steep is to create an rich, umami syrup-like broth.
\n
\nSecond steeping-Time: immediate.Water: 70-90C/160-195F, 200 ml In subsequent steeps, you've already primed the leaves and extracted much of the umami, so enjoy the other flavors with water at hotter temperatures.
\n
\nThird / fourth steeping - Time:30-60 seconds.Water: 70-90C/160-195F, 200 ml
\n
Remember, steeping at a hotter temperature extracts caffeine and bitter-tasting catechin (antioxidants) while cooler temperature extracts only the umami-tasting L-theanine and other sweet flavors. Since the bitter flavors overwhelm the umami flavors, we recommend the above.
\n
Also try cold steeping as well as ice steeping!

This tea coming from the award-winning Kurihara Tea Farm is a shiraore leaf stem tea, it was made from leaf stems filtered from the production of their incredible gyokuro. So, what exactly do we mean by shiraore? Shiraore actually belongs to the category of kukicha (“twig tea”), which is a green tea made with parts of the tea plant that is usually not used for making the most common type of green tea such as sencha or gyokuro. This gyokuro shiraore consists of a blend of tea stems, stalks and twigs which come from the production of gyokuro. This is the reason why it is considered to be the highest quality of kukicha. Similar to a gyokuro, with shiraore tea, one will experience umami which comes from the high theanine content. While in Kyushu (the most southern island), the people call this type of tea shiraore, Kyoto folks call it karigane.

This tea coming from the award-winning Kurihara Tea Farm is a shiraore leaf stem tea, it was made from leaf stems filtered from the production of their incredible gyokuro. So, what exactly do we mean by shiraore? Shiraore actually belongs to the category of kukicha (“twig tea”), which is a green tea made with parts of the tea plant that is usually not used for making the most common type of green tea such as sencha or gyokuro. This gyokuro shiraore consists of a blend of tea stems, stalks and twigs which come from the production of gyokuro. This is the reason why it is considered to be the highest quality of kukicha. Similar to a gyokuro, with shiraore tea, one will experience umami which comes from the high theanine content. While in Kyushu (the most southern island), the people call this type of tea shiraore, Kyoto folks call it karigane.
A rich and delicious snow-aged sencha that is unique to the winter wonderlands of Niigata prefecture. This intriguing tea from Seikoen Tea Factory uses sencha tea leaves from Shizuoka prefecture which are then carefully refined and aged (please see below for further information) in their natural snow-cooled warehouse called a \"yukimuro\". The taste of this tea is enhanced by aging the carefully selected tea leaves just before freezing, which seems to reduce the bitterness and enhance the sweetness (umami) - you can discover for yourselves! Perhaps an ideal sencha to try for those who are not a huge fan of bitterness but also one to try for the sencha lovers out there.

\n
About Snow-aging
\n
Seikoen's snow cooled warehouse is like a big igloo which refrigerates products only with the cold air from the snow, without using any electricity (completely natural). The room is kept at 100% humidity and about 5 degrees Celsius for one entire year. While the mechanism needs more research, something about this unique aging process (perhaps due to the temperature which hovers just below zero in a state in which water is neither freezing nor liquid) causes the tea to increase multiple chemical components that make up the tea leaf's umami flavor. Specifically, an increase was measured from 632 mg/100g to 810.7 mg/100g of 15 amino acids according to their tests.

About the Nakai family
\n
Since the late 17th century, the Nakai family has been cultivating tea in the village of Wazuka, Kyoto. The 6th tea master, Masao Nakai, began organic and non-pesticide cultivation in 1980, a time when few people were concerned about producing organically. Aiming to create an agricultural system that coexists with the natural environment of the beautiful mountains, Nakai-san was a pioneer in the tea industry of Kyoto. His son, 7th tea master Michio Nakai, continues this tradition today.

The 6th tea master, Masao Nakai, began organic and non-pesticide cultivation in 1980, a time when few people were concerned about producing organically. Aiming to create an agricultural system that coexists with the natural environment of the beautiful mountains, Nakai-san was a pioneer in the tea industry of Kyoto. His son, 7th tea master Michio Nakai, continues this tradition today.

Steeping Notes
\n
The amounts below are guidelines. Adjust to preference.
From one of Japan's organic tea pioneers comes a special premium shaded sencha or Kabuse Sencha. Shaded for two weeks for harvest, the deep pine-green leaf needles give a rich aroma of umami savoriness.
\n
OUR STEEPING EXPERIENCE
\n
Steeped at 40˚C/104˚F degrees for 3 minutes (3 grams of leaf, 80 ml of water), it creates a syrupy ambrosia that is to be enjoyed drop by drop.
\n
We recommend you steep all the umami savoriness from the leaf at low temperatures, then you may proceed to steeping the refined astringency at hotter temperatures with larger amounts of water. (See our gyokuro steeping techniques)
\n
The more standard Warm Water method is also recommended for a balance of umami and astringency (see the Steeping Notes tab).

From one of Japan's organic tea pioneers comes a special premium shaded sencha or Kabuse Sencha. Shaded for two weeks for harvest, the deep pine-green leaf needles give a rich aroma of umami savoriness.
\n
OUR STEEPING EXPERIENCE
\n
Steeped at 40˚C/104˚F degrees for 3 minutes (3 grams of leaf, 80 ml of water), it creates a syrupy ambrosia that is to be enjoyed drop by drop.
\n
We recommend you steep all the umami savoriness from the leaf at low temperatures, then you may proceed to steeping the refined astringency at hotter temperatures with larger amounts of water. (See our gyokuro steeping techniques)
\n
The more standard Warm Water method is also recommended for a balance of umami and astringency (see the Steeping Notes tab).

Produced using first flush spring leaves and the pan-fired (kamairi) method of processing, the leaves are rolled, dried in a greenhouse under the sunlight. The process is similar to Puer tea up to this point. It is then strongly roasted to finish the tea. A light-roasted version is also available here.
\n
This tea processing method is a folk tea called Kumano Bancha 熊野晩茶 in the Kumano region of Wakayama Prefecture, which Mitocha is attempting to preserve.. It was used to make rice porridge to be eaten with pickled vegetables and dried foods, and drunk as an every day tea. It also ages well according to the Mitocha.
Produced using first flush spring leaves and the pan-fired (kamairi) method of processing, the leaves are rolled, dried in a greenhouse under the sunlight. The leaves are then stored in Mitocha's warehouse for a certain period of time before releasing for sale without a final roasting. Suitable for further aging.
\n
Mitocha's farmer Kayashita-san believes this tea will continue to become \"softer\" as it ages. You can think of it as an unroasted puerh tea.
Cultivated without use of pesticides / synthetic fertilizers

Meet the fresh batch of Tomizawa Tea Garden Shincha, harvested in 2024 and certified organic by JAS. Enjoy pure, natural flavors with every sip, knowing you're supporting sustainable farming practices.
From the fields of family-operated tea farm, Tomizawa Tea Garden, a shincha shaded for about 2 weeks before early May harvest (making it a kabusecha). The Yabukita tea cultivar is the standard in the tea industry for providing great flavor (enhanced by the shading).
As a steamed tamaryokucha (or guricha), the leaves are not rolled into straight needles as you would see with sencha, but rather left slightly curled by skipping the last rolling step.
Steeping Notes
Tea: 3-5 grams
Time: 1 minute
Water temperature: 60C/140F degrees
Water amount: 1 cup
Resteep at hotter temperature up to 3 times. We recommend the second steep to be quick -- in and out, since the leaves are primed for extraction.
Use hotter temperature & longer steeping time for a more astringent tea, use cold water or ice steeping for a very sweet tea.
