Yasuharu Maeno is the current head of Maruyasu, a tea producer in Shiga, just east of Kyoto, that first opened its doors over 140 years ago in 1872. Maeno-san is a level-9 Chashi, making him one of the most esteemed and respected tea blenders in the country, and we are honored to serve as stewards of his teas. Our collection of teas sourced directly from Yasuharu Maeno introduces a new terroir for Kettl and our continued exploration of the evolving horizons of matcha. While Yasuharu Maeno is decorated as a master tea blender, Tsuchiyma is an offering that puts his skill at coaxing out incredibly dynamic profiles from single cultivar selections on full display. Comprised entirely of Okumidori—one of our favorite cultivars for matcha—grown within Shiga prefecture, Tsuchiyma is nutty and sweet with a finish that seems to last forever.
