十七 JU-NANA (17) SPECIALTY GRADE ORGANIC MATCHA


ORIGIN · 土地
— volcanic soil / mist / depth / luminous green

In the mist-covered highlands of Kirishima, volcanic soil and a cool air give the tea depth and quiet strength. In Uji's most revered and closely guarded tea fields, where access is rare, abundant spring water and soft breezes nurture clarity of aroma and a smooth, refined texture. In their meeting, depth and brightness come into balance. Born from exquisite organic gardens, this harmony is defined by rich amino acids, deep umami, and a finish devoid of bitterness.

CULTIVAR · 品種
— Okumidori / Saemidori

十七 is crafted with only the finest Okumidori and Saemidori leaves—harvested through highly selective hands at the peak of the season, making it both rare and limited. Its composition—70% Kirishima and 30% Uji—draws out the purest character of each terroir, blending tranquility and vividness. The blend is guided by the intuition of Tea Master Morita, three-time champion of the National Tea Appraisal Competition.

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

The final touch, hiire, is performed by artisans with over a decade of experience.

Their delicate fire awakens fragrance, polishes sweetness, and brings the blend into serene balance. Hiire is the most critical step in matcha production, defining aroma, depth, and finish.

A soft sweetness opens in quiet elegance, layered with warm roasted depth and whispers of floral brightness, settling into a smooth, lingering stillness that resonates long after the bowl is empty.
