Kiyo Matcha Organic Classic Grade Chiba No Shiro – Ceremonial First Harvest Matcha (40g) from Kagoshima, Japan

Discover Kiyo Matcha Organic Classic Grade

Balanced, smooth, and approachable, this entry-level ceremonial grade offers a refined tasting experience without overwhelming new palates. Expect a delicate blend of umami with gentle bitterness and a touch of astringency, making it suitable for everything from creamy lattes to traditional usucha and refreshing cold brews.

Crafted in small batches and sourced from Japan's domestic market, Kiyo Matcha emphasizes care from leaf to cup. The result is a bright green powder that reflects careful attention to freshness and quality in every step.

Shaped by Kagoshima Terroir

The leaves come from cultivars influenced by Kagoshima's distinct climate and soil. Shade-grown to preserve natural sweetness and color, this powder is ground using a traditional stone mill, then sealed in an airtight bag and a pull-top screw can to help maintain aroma and freshness for home use.

The harvest process focuses on the youngest, greenest leaves, hand-picked and steamed quickly—often within a day of picking. After air-drying, leaves are de-stemmed and deveined before grinding into a bright, consistent powder. This sequence supports a clean, nuanced flavor profile you can detect in your cup.

Nutrition notes aside, the powder represents a full-leaf preparation that delivers a concentration of nutrients higher than traditional steeping methods. The Organic Ceremonial Grade designation signals a refined, authentic quality tied to Japan’s first harvests and traditional preparation practices.
