As Japanese tea specialists in Kyoto since 1717, we produce 6 regular blends of matcha, each with its own character. This bundle is your chance to treat yourself over the holidays with our most popular blend, Sayaka, and a refill. A total of around 40 servings: enough to last the season.

In the bundle:

Full-bodied and balanced. Our first recommendation for people new to our matcha, Sayaka has plentiful natural sweetness and umami, balanced by a hint of bitterness.

Recommended serving: Most drink Sayaka in a latte, where you can expect a smooth finish that melds seamlessly with the milk. Sayaka is also delicious straight, where it presents a clean taste and a long finish.

This blend is also a remarkable introduction to koicha, the thick, paste-like matcha style favored by aficionados. Sip koicha on its own, or pour over ice cream as a matcha sauce for dessert.

When serving guests, our Tea Bowl with Spout – White (Mino-yaki) is convenient for whisking a large batch of matcha to pour into cups.
