- Description
- Description An exceptionally rare single-cultivar ceremonial matcha crafted from 2026 first harvest (ichibancha) Ooiwase tea leaves grown in Yame, Fukuoka, one of Japan's most celebrated and storied tea regions. Seldom produced, rarely exported , and almost never offered as a single-cultivar expression outside Japan. This is a matcha of considered layering. It opens with fresh, lively vegetal notes, transitions through gentle sweetness , and settles into a warm, satisfying umami that lingers cleanly. The result is a cup that is balanced and refreshing, approachable on first sip, yet complex enough to reward the attentive drinker, with a finish that is clean, elegant, and quietly lasting. Best for: Usucha, daily rituals, matcha enthusiasts seeking rare single-cultivar experiences Cultivar: 100% Ooiwase (extremely rare single cultivar) Harvest: First harvest, 2026 Style: Layered, balanced, refreshingly approachable Finish: Clean, elegant, and warmly lingering Dairy-Free, Gluten-Free, GMO-Free, Sugar-Free, Vegan, and Vegetarian.
