Tasting Note: Chocolatey, Buttery and Sweet

A special release blends from this year 2025 harvest, this small-batch blend of Okumidori, Saemidori, and Yabukita comes from the misty hills of Yame, Fukuoka. Smooth and well-rounded, it offers a rich, layered flavour—chocolatey, buttery, and gently sweet, with an aftertaste of cashew nuts and no trace of astringency.

Crafted exclusively from the first flush, this matcha delivers not just sweetness, but depth and nuance. The symbol for this blend is the Usagi, representing softness, grace, and quiet good fortune. Said to dwell on the moon in Japanese folklore, the Usagi felt like the perfect emblem for this limited Yame release—known for its gentle richness and smooth personality.

Each matcha packs includes a matching Usagi sticker and tasting notes card, inviting you to sip, learn, and savour the story behind the blend.
