Umami mavens and those averse to astringency, this year is for you.

On the tongue, a round, savory, and lively taste. It’s brothy, with slight vegetal sweetness and essentially no sharpness. It has a big presence, and yet its smooth texture leaves us feeling refreshed in the finish.

The aroma is green, bright, and even fruity - like cherry tomatoes - while its color is the most radiant in our offering.

This is a matcha on par with Ummon, which, in contrast, offers more punchiness and maturity.

This release is a pure expression of the energy of this year’s just-picked tea leaves.

Typically, matcha is made from leaves that have been rested for a period of many months. The resting process develops and matures the leaves, producing a complex and well-developed character.

Our New Harvest Matcha, on the other hand, is unique. It is made by grinding a selection of new tea leaves right after they are picked. As a result, it has a fresh and fragrant character that stands out in our selection.

Try this year’s New Harvest Matcha first as iced matcha served in a glass, for cool sipping on a hot summer afternoon.

Matcha fans will enjoy it as koicha, where it is punchy and eye-opening. As regular usucha, it has a bright, even fruity aroma. In a latte, its vivid color is stunning, and its richness melds seamlessly with the milk. Though, purists may prefer to drink it mixed just with water to experience its full complexities.
