Introducing Imperial Grade Matcha, our most refined, limited-edition matcha to date. Made by the 3rd generation farmer Yoshiaki and his wife Yuko is solely from the highly renowned Okumidori cultivar, this exceptional tea is shade-grown for over three weeks and stone-ground into an ultra-fine 10-micron powder. The result is a vibrant, emerald-green matcha with a rich, velvety texture, intense umami, and natural sweetness. The Imperial Grade Matcha, made from First Flush Okumidori leaves, offers a richer, multi layered profile than our Ceremonial Matcha. It opens with intensely deep umami and soft nori-like savouriness, unfolding into subtle fresh, vegetal and minty shiso leaf tones. A luxuriously creamy mouthfeel carries gentle notes of toasted cashew and a hint of cacao nib, adding nutty warmth and sophistication. The finish lingers with a delicate, natural sweetness, reminiscent of fresh cream, young grass, leaving the palate clean, nourished, and balanced. Compared to ceremonial grade matcha, which leans brighter and more grassy, Imperial Grade delivers a darker, fuller-bodied experience with heightened umami, without any astringency (bitterness), and a velvety depth that reflects the artistry of its cultivation and the purity of its Okumidori origin. Perfect for traditional preparation or creamy latte, Imperial Grade Matcha is a celebration of purity and tradition.
