Matcha Premium Kirishima is a ceremonial-grade organic matcha, curated to provide an authentic Japanese tea experience for your daily ritual. Its balanced flavor profile, featuring a pleasant umami note and light vegetal freshness, makes it ideal for Usucha (thin tea)—the most cherished preparation in Japanese tradition.

It holds dual organic certification: JAS (Japan) and DE-ÖKO-003 (Europe). Like all our Japanese selections, it comes from a transparent, short supply chain and is produced by a family estate with over 85 years of expertise in tea craftsmanship.

Aromatic Profile: Moss Green, Complex Umami & Forest Fragrance

Before Preparation: The powder presents an elegant, muted green hue with a delicate, soft fragrance—the result of careful shading during the final growth stages.

After Preparation: The liquor is a vivid, natural moss green. The aroma is woody with a soft, spicy undertone. On the palate, a multi-layered, complex umami dominates, revealing a depth of flavor that unfolds progressively. This is a matcha to be savoured slowly, not rushed.

Texture: The powder is silky and impalpable, the result of slow stone-grinding that prevents overheating and preserves colour, aroma, and active nutrients.

Oku Midori & Yabukita Blend: Tradition meets Freshness

Our Premium Matcha is crafted from two complementary cultivars: Oku Midori and Yabukita. Both are First Flush (Ichibancha) and are shaded for at least two weeks before harvest. Oku Midori provides creaminess and a rich umami base. Yabukita contributes a vibrant, herbaceous aroma and a refreshing finish, creating a perfectly balanced blend for daily enjoyment.

The Kirishima Terroir

Kirishima is a volcanic plateau in southern Kyushu, where natural mist acts as spontaneous shading for the tea gardens. This unique climate—combined with mineral-rich volcanic soil and high altitude—concentrates chlorophyll and L-theanine in the leaves even before manual shading begins.

Over 20 Years of Organic Mastery

This matcha comes from organic gardens active for over twenty years, established long before organic farming became a global trend. The plants are nurtured through daily monitoring of the soil, climate, and leaf health, respecting the natural rhythms of the plant.

The tea is certified organic under JAS (Japan) and DE-ÖKO-003 (EU) standards and is produced in a facility certified to FSSC 22000 for the highest food safety standards. To further ensure purity, independent laboratory tests confirm the absence of over 112 pesticides. This is a crucial safety measure for Matcha, as the entire pulverized leaf is consumed, making a 'pesticide-free' guarantee an essential requirement.
