Experience the pinnacle of Japanese tea craftsmanship with the Naoki Matcha Masters Collection. Sourced directly from the lush fields of Kagoshima, Japan, our Chiran Harvest Matcha is a testament to the art of tea growing. Designed for the true connoisseur, this authentic ceremonial grade matcha offers a refined tasting experience that transcends ordinary green teas. Whether prepared as traditional usucha (thin tea) or koicha (thick tea), this blend delivers a complexity of flavor that is both smooth and invigorating.
What sets this matcha apart is its use of the rare Seimei cultivar. Only registered in 2017, this varietal is quickly gaining renown for its exceptional characteristics. It boasts a vibrant, neon-green color and an incredible fragrance that awakens the senses the moment you open the package. On the palate, the Seimei cultivar is known for its mellow, nutty notes and distinct umami richness, providing a savory depth that is highly sought after by matcha enthusiasts.
Preparation is an art, and Chiran Harvest rises to the occasion. When whisked, it froths beautifully to create a luxuriously creamy layer atop your tea. The texture is ultra-smooth, coating the mouth with a delicate sweetness. Unlike lower-grade teas that rely on sugar or milk to mask astringency, our Chiran Harvest has zero bitter aftertaste, allowing you to savor the pure, unadulterated essence of high-quality Japanese green tea.
Historically, Kagoshima was overlooked in favor of more famous tea regions, but those days are gone. The unique terroir of Kagoshima now produces teas that rival the legendary harvests of Uji and Shizoaka. Due to the rarity of the Seimei cultivar, which has not yet entered full-scale commercial production, quantities of this specific harvest are strictly limited. With only approximately 150 kg available annually, this is an exclusive opportunity to own one of the world’s most pristine matcha powders.
