Grown in Izumo, Shimane

Izumo, located in Shimane Prefecture, Japan, is a region rich in culture, mythology, history, and spiritual heritage. Its cloudy and humid weather provides the ideal conditions for cultivating green tea. These natural elements, combined with the care and craftsmanship of small-scale producers, result in vibrant matcha.

Choose The Right Matcha For You

Not all premium matcha is suited for lattes. That’s why we label our matcha by purpose: koicha (thick tea), usucha (thin tea), latte, and culinary. Koicha-grade matcha has a rich umami flavor with low bitterness—perfect for traditional preparation but easily overpowered by milk. Latte-grade matcha, on the other hand, has a bolder taste with slight bitterness that balances well with milk or sweetener. Choosing the right grade will make a big difference in your matcha experience.

Frequently asked questions

There is no "ceremonial" tea in the Japanese matcha grading system. However, in a traditional tea ceremony, the host will make usucha (thin tea) and koicha (thick tea) for their guests.

At chacha maimai, we follow the Japanese tea grading system and rank matcha based on elements such as:

- purpose: for koicha / usucha / latte and desserts / culinary
- harvesting method: hand-picked / machine harvested
- milling process: stone-milled / machine

The expiration date is marked on the back of each product. For optimal freshness, store matcha in a cool, dry place. Once opened, keep it air-tight to prevent oxidation and consume as soon as possible.

Great for Iced Matcha

I purchased the MIDORI specifically for iced matcha. I used the 90ml+60ml+3g ration on the back of the bag and it works well. I tripled the numbers which makes 450ml or just over 15oz: 9oz milk + 6oz water + 9g matcha powder. In case you have issue visualizing 3g of matcha powder, it is a rounded (non-level) teaspoon scoop.

My everyday matcha!

Midori is my go to matcha for my morning lattes. I like mine without sweeteners or added flavors, and this has a slight touch of grassiness that goes well with the milk. It's not very bitter or strong, so it is also very pleasant as an iced matcha.
