Made from first flush tea leaves grown in Kyoto, it has a smooth and mellow umami taste with a touch of natural sweetness. A light bitterness brings balance, leaving a clean and refreshing finish.

Matcha Starter sits between our Sen’un no Shiro and Sho no Mukashi, making it an easy choice for anyone new to matcha. Enjoy it as a latte, use it in desserts, or whisk it simply with water.

This matcha is machine-ground instead of stone-milled. While the grinding method is different, the flavour comes from the quality of the tea leaves. We focus on using good-quality leaves to bring you a smooth and enjoyable matcha experience.
