044 Yabukita ceremonial matcha
This is a single cultivar matcha, Yabukita, from the spring harvest of 2025. It's a versatile matcha, stone-ground into a powder and prepared for the perfect preparation of usucha (traditional matcha) and matcha cocktails.
The main flavor distinctions are its minerality, sustained bitterness, and a dense fruity sweetness, which develops from the tea plants' ability to grow in rocky terrain. Thanks to its incredible aroma and long, pleasant aftertaste, it will become your new favorite among matcha varieties.
Matcha Saemidori is a tea grown at an altitude of 300-500 meters above sea level, in Shiga Prefecture, Koka city. The tea bushes underwent 25 days of shading and a unique steaming technique. This allowed farmers to better adapt the tea to European tastes. After harvesting, the crop is cleaned, leaving only the tea pulp (Tencha), which is stored in the refrigerator until shipment. Just before the matcha leaves Japan, the tea is ground into a powder on ceramic grinders, packaged, and shipped to Ukraine.
