Grown in Kagoshima

Kagoshima, located at the southern tip of Kyushu, is Japan’s second-largest tea region and is a leader in organic tea production.

Kagoshima teas are especially known for their smooth, naturally sweet flavor profiles.

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.

How should I choose?

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.

Drink everyday

This matcha is perfect for the daily matcha drinker. I make mine straight (no milk or sugar) and it is great on its own. When I first smell it, it has a toasted comforting scent and it froths up beautifully. Matcha is such a grounding and peaceful ritual that I look forward to everyday and nozomi adds to a peaceful morning for me.

Smoooth!

I have been making matcha lattes with Nozomi - 3g matcha, 60g water, and some oat milk. It has been such a wonderful experience! First, the powder is a vibrant green right out of the bag, which is visually pleasing. Second, the best way I can describe this matcha is: gentle, but assertive. She's a reliable matcha. A humble matcha that has your back. Not "grassy", so this is a perfect one for beginners. Well-rounded and smoooth!
