Product Introduction
A new way to enjoy matcha: "Choose by Variety."
Matcha (IZUMIYA YAMAEI) is a Ceremonial grade authentic matcha made exclusively from the high-grade "Saemidori" variety from Shizuoka Prefecture.
Saemidori is characterized by its rich sweetness and umami, low astringency, and vibrant natural deep green color. Just as wine has grape varieties, matcha also has varieties. The ability to clearly state the variety name on the can is proof of our confidence in its quality.
Established in 1927. Approximately 100 years of tea cultivation in Shizuoka.
This exquisite product has been meticulously finished by Yamaei, a company with nearly 100 years of history in Shizuoka, a renowned tea-producing region. Using only 100% first-flush tencha as raw material, it has been finely ground into a delicate micro-particle powder using traditional stone mills. It contains absolutely no artificial coloring, flavoring, sweeteners, or preservatives. The only ingredient is "green tea (from Shizuoka Prefecture)," making it completely additive-free.
From Usucha to Matcha Latte and Sweets. Enjoyment possibilities expand with one can.
【As Authentic Usucha (thin tea)】
When whisked with a chasen, it offers the fine foam and mellow taste unique to Saemidori. It is a Ceremonial grade that can be used with confidence for tea ceremony practice and preparation. For beginners, Saemidori's low astringency and sweet taste make it ideal for your first Usucha.
【As Matcha Latte / Green Tea】
A cafe's matcha latte costs about ¥550 per cup → At home, it's about ¥165 per cup. Simply pour in milk and stir to enjoy an authentic Ceremonial grade matcha latte. Enjoy it easily as a daily beverage. Since it is unsweetened, you can adjust the sweetness to your preference.
【As an Ingredient for Sweets and Baked Goods】
Just a spoonful over vanilla ice cream transforms it into an authentic matcha dessert. It is also excellent for making matcha cakes, cookies, tiramisu, and other confections. Because it is a Ceremonial grade that is delicious to drink, the finished aroma and color are significantly different. It can also be used for tea parties with Japanese sweets.
Also chosen as a gift.
The white can, adorned with hand-drawn tea ceremony utensil illustrations, is perfect as a gift as is. Ideal for Mother's Day, Father's Day, birthday presents, year-end and mid-year gifts, internal celebrations, return gifts, or as a host's gift, as well as a treat for yourself. The rich aroma of Saemidori spreads the moment you open it. Delivered in a limited edition design can.
