100 Gram Kagoshima Matcha Reserve

Kagoshima Matcha Reserve is our premium usucha grade offering. Sourced from a region renowned for its nutrient-rich volcanic soil and temperate climate, this stone-ground, first-flush matcha represents the synergy of terroir, cultivar, and process. This is a curated blend of three celebrated cultivars: Saemidori provides deep umami and complexity, while Yutakamidori and Asanoka contribute a vibrant brightness and a crisp, verdant aroma. To achieve its signature profile, the tencha underwent a high-temperature firing followed by a multi-month resting period (kuridashi). This patient aging process tames natural astringency, resulting in a matcha with a clean, velvet-smooth finish and a rich, satisfying mouthfeel.
