Kazue Ceremonial | 500g

Our first-harvest, single-origin Yabukita matcha from Nara is crafted from 100% ichibancha, the youngest and most prized leaves of the season. Shade-grown for over 21 days, these tender leaves develop elevated levels of L-theanine and chlorophyll, giving the powder a rich, medium-dark green colour.

This year’s harvest opens with a warm, roasty aroma and hints of dark chocolate. On the palate it’s more robust than past seasons: full-bodied and nutty, with a medium umami and a bold, cocoa-like depth.

That robustness is what makes it shine in milk. Whisked into a latte, it mellows into a rich, chocolatey finish, and the matcha character stays clear and present rather than getting lost.
