Preparing matcha is a simple yet mindful ritual β but the ratio of matcha to water (or milk) can vary depending on how you enjoy it.

Fuji No Haru
Smooth, Fragrant, and Lightly Sweet π΅πΏ
Fuji no Haru is a premium matcha from Okabe, Shizuoka Prefecture, at the foot of Mount Fuji. Its cool, humid climate and fertile soil produce tea leaves rich in theanine, giving a naturally smooth and umami-rich cup. Opening the tin reveals a gentle, fresh green aroma with subtle grassy notes that hint at its light and refreshing character.
Whisked as usucha, it is soft, lightly sweet, and only mildly bitter, making it approachable and easy to enjoy. Its clean, fragrant flavor also pairs beautifully with milk for a creamy matcha latte, or can enhance culinary creations in cooking and baking.
π± Color: Vibrant, fresh green
πΒ Aroma: Light, grassy, and fragrant
π΅Β Taste: Smooth, lightly sweet, gentle umami with minimal bitterness; perfect for usucha, lattes, or culinary uses
How to Store Matcha
To keep your matcha fresh and flavorful:
- Store in an airtight container to prevent oxidation.
- Keep it in a cool, dry, and dark place β the fridge is ideal if sealed properly.
- Avoid moisture, heat, and light, as they can degrade quality.
- Use within 1β2 months after opening for the best taste.
- Always use dry utensils when scooping.
Tip: If stored in the fridge, let it come to room temperature before opening to avoid condensation.
How to prepare matcha?
1. Sift the Matcha
Add matcha powder into your bowl. Sift it to remove clumps and ensure a smooth, lump-free drink.
2. Add Water
Pour in hot water (not boiling). Water thatβs too hot can make matcha taste bitter.
3. Whisk
Using a bamboo whisk, briskly whisk in a βWβ or βMβ motion until the surface becomes frothy with tiny bubbles. This creates a creamy, balanced texture.
4. Enjoy
Drink it straight from the bowl or pour into a cup. Sip and savor slowly.
