Koicha-grade | Made 100% from Ichibancha Leaves
Ideal for those seeking purity, tradition, and complexity in every cup.
Harvested: May 2025
Powdered: June 2025
Cultivar: Yabukita, Single Origin
Origin: Nara, Japan
Our first-harvest, single-origin Yabukita matcha from Nara is crafted exclusively from 100% ichibancha leaves — the youngest and most prized of the year. Shade-grown for over 21 days, these tender leaves develop elevated levels of L-theanine and chlorophyll, resulting in a vibrant green color and smooth, umami-rich taste.
Grown in award-winning tea fields cultivated with care for nearly 30 years, this matcha reflects a legacy of excellence. It offers a well-rounded flavor with a delicate balance of natural sweetness and gentle umami. A signature nuttiness adds depth, complemented by subtle vegetal notes and a creamy finish.
Beautifully layered and rich, it’s perfect for koicha preparation — a true marker of premium quality — and equally enjoyable as part of your daily ritual.
