Summer Matcha

This culinary-grade Matcha Ajisai presents a vibrant green hue, perfect for lattes and desserts. Its flavor profile unfolds with notes of toasted nuts and fresh grass, complemented by a distinctive ke. It leans nutty, grassy and umami.

Water around 70–80 °C (158–176 °F). In a mug, steep 2–3 min. For gongfu, use 3–5 g per 100 ml, 15–30 s steeps. You'll get to see how the flavor changes across multiple rounds. The biggest mistake with green tea is using boiling water. Keep it well below that and you won't get bitterness.

Grown in Kyoto, Japan from the Yabukita cultivar. This batch is from the Summer harvest.

Starts at $43.21 from Sing Tehus, or about $0.43/g. A 100g package gets you around 17 gongfu sessions at ~6 g each, which works out to about $2.58 per session. Explore more green teas on Teadar.
