Deep umami, quiet complexity.
JU-HACHI (18) unfolds gently, like a breath settling into silence: first a clean, vivid green note, then nuts and cacao, and finally a warm earthiness that grounds the cup. A single cultivar is roasted at four levels, each adding depth and nuance, and the four are blended into one.
Tasting notes
Deep umami and vivid green clarity, with nuts and cacao mid-palate and warm earthiness on the finish. Rich jade in colour, with a full, creamy body. It keeps deepening as the bowl cools.
Why it stands apart
An unusual approach to matcha: one cultivar, four roast levels and one layered blend that reveals new dimensions as the temperature changes. It rewards patience and attention. Organic, documented lot by lot, and stone-milled in Kyoto at half the standard speed.
How to prepare
- Usucha (thin tea): whisk 2 g with 70 ml of water at 80°C. For a more contemplative cup, try 60°C to draw out the sweetness.
- Latte: whisk 2 g with 30 ml of hot water, then add steamed milk. The earthiness pairs beautifully with oat milk.

Matcha Terroir & Tasting notes
Terroir
ORIGIN · 土地
— volcanic kuroboku soil / mist / depth / luminous green
Grown on the plateaus of Chausubaru, a land where pure springs and abundant nature thrive. At 200m elevation, warm days meet cool nights, softening demanding conditions with a gentle mist that veils the fields each morning. Kuroboku volcanic ash soil, rich in minerals and drainage, nurtures a vivid green hue and deep umami.
From this harmony of mist, rainfall, and soil emerges a matcha both powerful and serene.
CULTIVAR · 品種
— Okumidori / Saemidori
十八 is a single-origin blend that unites two cultivars grown in Chausubaru. Together, they reveal a flavor both delicate and full-bodied, a lingering echo of strength and stillness.
-Okumidori offers elegant umami, gentle sweetness, and clean notes of nuts and nori
-Saemidori imparts floral fragrance, brightness, and silky clarity
ROASTING · 火入れ
— gentle roasting / polish / clarity / craftsmanship
Hiire is the defining step in matcha production, shaping aroma, depth, and finish. Roasted in four carefully controlled stages, it draws out toasty depth and delicate floral notes, refining sweetness, clarity, and balance.
Tasting Notes
A vivid green note opens in stillness, layered with whispers of nuts, cacao, and nori, settling into a warm, weightless earthiness that quiets the mind.
Top : Vivid green & roasted nuts — clear, meditative, precise
Mid : Cacao & nori — Chausubaru volcanic depth, four-stage fire
Finish : Warm weightless earth — silencing, grounding, expansive
