Tea farm in Takachiho highlands of central Kyushu Island

Experience the tranquil essence of old-world Japanese countryside with our aromatic, highly flavorful, jade-green Kamairi matcha, stone ground to perfection.

Sourced from the serene, lush-green highlands of central Kyushu Island, this JAS-certified organic matcha is crafted from pan-roasted Kamairi tea leaves, known for their rich, robust flavor.

Versatile and Unique

With its delicate aroma and high umami content, this Kamairi matcha, unlike specialized high-foaming ceremonial matchas, boasts remarkable versatility.

It's perfect for traditional matcha, delightful in lattes, and ideal for culinary uses and making garnishing.

See below for a few how-to examples.

About Kamairi Variety

Producing Kamari is labor-intensive and requires skill. Kamairi teas are rare even in Japan, accounting for about 2% of all Japanese tea production.

To make Kamairi, fresh tea leaves are skilfully dried at high heat for a few minutes, then rolled and dried in a four-step process. The result is a smooth tea with a sophisticated, rich flavor.

Rare and Exquisite

A hidden gem, not commonly found in stores, for those seeking an authentic, aromatic, and versatile matcha experience.
