Naoki Matcha Organic Ceremonial First Spring Blend - Authentic Japanese Matcha Green Tea for Ceremonial Use (40g / 1.4oz)

Great-tasting matcha from Japan is available on our website. We offer matcha and tea from various regions of Japan, directly sourced from farms and tea manufacturers. Our main focus is on providing high quality and flavorful matcha to help you fully enjoy the experience. To ensure this, we offer 7 different kinds of matcha for you to choose from.

The problem we aim to solve is the inconsistency in matcha quality. It can be difficult to differentiate between good matcha and overpriced or mediocre ones. We strive to offer the best quality product at every price point.

We love what we do because matcha, despite its simplicity, offers a wide range of flavors, including sweet, nutty, savory, and complex. Depending on the tea leaves and growing techniques used, the possibilities are endless.

Our journey started with just one type of matcha, but we have now established partnerships with a network of tea growers and manufacturers in Japan, allowing us to offer 7 different kinds of matcha.

In our store, you can find our collection of matcha from different tea regions of Japan. Each blend has its own unique characteristics and flavors. We also provide customer reviews and prices for your convenience.

If you're new to matcha, we recommend starting with our Superior Ceremonial Blend or Organic Ceremonial Blend for an organic option. These beginner-friendly blends are versatile and have a great taste, making them perfect for lattes. However, if you've already tried many different matcha blends, you might prefer our Fragrant Yame Blend, known for its sweetness and smooth texture. For advanced matcha enthusiasts, we suggest trying our Master's Collection, with our favorite being the Chiran Harvest matcha.

Matcha has numerous benefits, including providing a focused and mellow energy boost without the jitters or crash that coffee often causes. It is also rich in antioxidants, surpassing regular green teas in concentration.

Matcha is typically described as "blends" because it is made from shade-grown tea leaves that are then milled into a fine powder. Tea masters select different leaves for their taste attributes and blend them together to enhance specific flavors and achieve a final result that customers will find enjoyable. The flavor objectives vary by region.

To enjoy traditional Japanese matcha tea, you can prepare the classic frothy thin tea or "usucha" at home using 1 tsp of matcha and 3 oz of 170°F water. For matcha lattes, create a "matcha shot" by mixing 1.5 tsp of matcha with 1 oz of water, adding 6 oz of your preferred milk and sweetener to taste. Cold brew matcha is easy to make by mixing 1 tsp of matcha with 6-8 oz of cold water. These instructions can be adjusted based on personal preference.

We have provided answers to some frequently asked questions, including details about our blends, caffeine content, storage recommendations, and expiry dates. We assure our customers that we test each crop of matcha for various hazards, including radiation and heavy metal contamination, and we comply with food safety regulations.

Our packaging is inspired by the tea fields in Japan and the surrounding regions, and we design it ourselves.

Our Organic First Spring Blend Matcha is certified organic by JAS and is a perfect choice for beginners seeking a well-rounded organic ceremonial grade matcha without any bitterness. It offers a mild, mellow taste with hints of raw cacao, making it ideal for matcha lattes, matcha teas, and usucha. The tea leaves are sourced from the Kirishima region outside Kagoshima city, where they undergo shade growth and modern processing before being ground into matcha powder.

Drinking Naoki Matcha can improve focus, boost energy, and provide a steady long-lasting effect without the caffeine jitters associated with coffee. The L-theanine amino acid in our matcha releases caffeine slowly to relax the mind and body while providing an energy boost for up to 6 hours.

We are proud to produce our matcha in Kagoshima, a region known for its quality matcha production. The volcanic soil attributes a unique terroir, allowing tea estates in Kagoshima to create bold new tastes and flavors, departing from traditional methods commonly associated with Uji and Kyoto.

Enjoy the taste of authentic Japanese matcha with Naoki Matcha!
