Origin and Craft
🌿 Origin: Shizuoka, Japan – Known for producing some of the finest matcha in the world
🌿 Cultivar: Yabukita, a prized cultivar for high-quality matcha
🌿 Elevation: 300–500m
Harvest:
🌿 Hand-picked during the spring season, selecting only the youngest, most tender leaves to preserve the natural sweetness and delicate flavor.
🌿 Shade-grown for several weeks prior to harvesting to increase chlorophyll and amino acid production, resulting in a bright green color and rich flavor.
Processing:
🌿 Traditional Matcha Processing is applied, where the leaves are steamed to prevent oxidation, dried, and then stone-ground into a fine powder.
🌿 This careful, meticulous process preserves the vibrant green color and the natural nutrients found in the leaves, ensuring that every cup is packed with flavor and wellness benefits.
Brewing Guide
🌿 Water temperature: 175–180°F (80–82°C) for the perfect balance of flavor and smoothness.
🌿 Matcha measurement: Use about 1 to 2 teaspoons of matcha powder per serving (approximately 2-3g).
🌿 Whisking: Whisk vigorously in a “W” or “M” motion to create a creamy texture and a beautiful froth.
For the perfect froth, we recommend using a Mini Electric Whisk. We love the one from Daiso HERE, or for a more traditional experience, try using a Chasen (traditional bamboo whisk), where you should whisk vigorously in a “W” or “M” motion to create a frothy, smooth consistency.
Health Benefits of Shizuoka Matcha:
🌿 Rich in Antioxidants: Shizuoka Matcha is loaded with catechins, which help protect against free radicals and promote cellular health.
🌿 Enhances Focus and Clarity: The high levels of L-theanine promote calm, focused energy, making it perfect for meditation, study, or creative work.
🌿 Supports Detoxification: Matcha is a natural detoxifier due to its high chlorophyll content, which helps cleanse the body of toxins.
🌿 Boosts Metabolism: The natural compounds in Shizuoka Matcha support healthy metabolism, making it a great addition to any wellness routine.

I recently switched up to this matcha. The flavor is super smooth and it’s vibrant and fresh, with a nice earthy taste that really gives you that authentic Japanese matcha vibe. I’ve been using it for lattes, and it blends well with a mini electric whisk, I can tell it’s high quality because the color is the correct green that looks way better than some of the other matchas I’ve tried. If you’re a matcha fan, this one’s definitely worth checking out. It gives you that perfect balance of flavor and energy without any crash

The flavor of this matcha is smooth, with a mild sweetness that makes it easy to drink. No overpowering bitterness, just a nice, clean taste that feels green and fresh. I’ve been using it for my matcha lattes and even just whisking it with hot water, and both ways it’s been amazing. I think if you’re serious about your matcha or for those just starting out, this is a great choice.

A matcha of good quality, suitable for seasoned tea drinks or just starting out. You can appreciate is quality and taste. It has a slight sweetness, the finish is smooth and on the whole the flavors are well balanced. Best of all you get lots of antioxidants from matcha, guilt free beverage that will keep you healthy!

This Shizuoka Matcha is pretty fantastic for its price point. The flavor is rich and smooth with just the right amount of umami, no harsh bitterness at all. I’ve been using it for both drinking straight and in smoothies and have been enjoying it! The powder is fine and it has a nice green hue. It’s also got a fresh, grassy aroma which makes me feel it is super authentic. Definitely one of the better matchas I’ve tried—if you like matcha you’ll love this one!
Jewel –
A smooth and flavorful experience with this matcha. Just the correct level of astringency which I like, making it perfect for drinking on its own. A good pick me up, it works for me better than coffee with the side effects!
Hui Fen –
Shizuoka Matcha is top-notch! It has a smooth, rich flavor without the wrong kind of bitterness some other matchas have, making it perfect straight up. The beautiful pastel green color and fine texture make it a pleasure to work with—definitely worth the try!

One big scoop into my smoothie blend everyday (avocado, frozen mango, banana) and I’m all set for the day! I love how matcha is a powder so that I can add it to smoothies. A very convenient way to add a ton of chlorophyll and antioxidants to your diet
