Matcha Terroir & Tasting notes

Matcha Terroir

ORIGIN · 土地
— volcanic kuroboku soil / morning mist / spring water / velvet depth

Kirishima's volcanic Shirasu Plateau brings mineral richness, deep jade color, and the mellow umami that only kuroboku soil can produce. Uji's 30% contributes the complexity of ooi-ka — the seaweed-like fragrance born of 700 years of shade cultivation, adding transparency and aromatic refinement to the blend's powerful foundation.

CULTIVAR · 品種
— Okumidori / Saemidori

Two cultivars. Structure and brightness in balance.

Okumidori holds the highest chlorophyll of all cultivars — deep jade, velvet texture, strong umami that holds its ground in milk and steam
Saemidori adds luminous sweetness and green clarity, lifting Okumidori's density without diminishing its strength

Guided by the intuition of Tea Master Morita — 70% Kirishima, 30% Uji — a composition that achieves both weight and transparency at once.

ROASTING · 火入れ
— gentle roasting / polish / clarity / craftsmanship

Precision hiire that polishes fragrance and removes impurity, without diminishing Okumidori's chlorophyll-rich body — maintaining both depth and clarity in every cup.

Tasting Notes

Deep jade umami opens with grounded, earthy vitality, brightened by the elegance of Uji's ooi-ka, settling into a velvet body that roots the senses and leaves the palate quietly alive.

Top : Layered umami & ooi-ka elegance — bold, aromatic, alive
Mid : Milky depth & luminous sweetness — Kirishima earth meets Uji refinement
Finish : Structural velvet body — grounding, posture-setting, lasting
