Matcha 005, a Japanese ceremonial grade matcha powder sourced from Uji, Japan. One of the most revered tea growing regions in the world, where the craft of matcha has been honored and refined for over eight centuries.
Matcha 005 is a refined, single cultivar ceremonial grade matcha for those who seek something a little quieter in the cup. Made exclusively from the Ukumi Dori cultivar and harvested during the first flush, the earliest and most delicate picking of the season, it carries the full expression of what Uji's climate and soil have to offer. Clean and balanced with a soft umami finish, it is smooth without being flat, nuanced without being complicated. There is no bitterness here. Only clarity.
First flush leaves are the most tender of the harvest, picked before the plant has been asked too much of. That gentleness comes through in the cup. The color is vivid and true. The aroma is fresh and grounding. The energy it offers is steady and calm, the kind that settles you into your morning rather than rushing you through it.
Stone milled in the traditional way, slowly and deliberately, Matcha 005 honors the process as much as the leaf itself.
This is matcha for the moment you want to be fully present for.
Tasting notes: Clean and balanced with soft umami

To keep your matcha color and flavor vibrant, storage is key. Stash your matcha in an airtight container to prevent exposure to air. Keep it in a cool, dark spot (the fridge works great) to shield it from light and moisture. Always grab a clean, dry spoon when scooping; contamination is a no-go. For maximum freshness and flavor, consume within a 2-3 months of opening. Follow these tips, and your matcha will stay as bold and vibrant as you are!
