二十二 NI-JYU-NI (22) SUBSCRIPTION

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

Tea gardens stretch across Kagoshima's volcanic Shirasu Plateau, where mineral-rich soil, warm sun, and drifting mists nurture leaves with depth and sweetness. Here, organic farming thrives—no chemicals, only soil renewed by nature's cycles. Formed by volcanoes, shaped by storms, Kagoshima cultivates matcha stirred by seismic energy and a quiet strength found nowhere else.

CULTIVAR · 品種
— Asanoka / Yutakamidori / Saemidori / Yabukita

Four cultivars. Four expressions. One harmony — 二十二 is a matcha where distinct cultivars come together without competition, in quiet unity.

• Asanoka offers fresh, fruit-like aromatics, gentle sweetness, and a clean, balanced finish
• Yutakamidori brings bold umami, depth, and a full-bodied presence
• Saemidori imparts creamy sweetness, soft umami, and a smooth, elegant finish
• Yabukita provides calm aroma, savory sweetness, and structural balance

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

Hiire is the fire that awakens fragrance, polishes sweetness, and brings the blend into serene balance. This critical step is performed by artisans with decades of experience, defining aroma, depth, and finish.

Fruity clarity opens with a sense of liberation, layered with creamy green sweetness, and settles into a herbal and grain-like depth that leaves only the memory of presence.

Top : Fruity freshness & volcanic brightness — clean, transparent, liberating
Mid : Creamy green sweetness & cultivar harmony — Kagoshima fruit meets Saemidori grace
