Description

2025 harvest

Our delicious ceremonial organic matcha HIROMI comes from the remote area of Satsuma, in the Kagoshima mountains. Yamaguchi san offers us a single-cultivar, single-estate matcha made with Kanayamidori cultivar. The leaves of this sweet and flavorful matcha are plucked during the first harvest, in May.

Thanks to its high roast level, this matcha can be used in many ways (we love it early in the morning because of its high caffeine content), and will always yield a distinctive taste. Its natural bitterness will make it perfect for lattes and adds a firm wild flavor that is quite remarkable for an organic matcha.

Kanayamidori is a cultivar plucked a few days after Yabukita leaves. It has a high levels of amino acids, yielding sweetness and umami, with just the right amount of astringency that makes it an excellent option for both straight matcha and latte.

For lattes, Yamaguchi san recommends plant-based milk.
