Summer vs. Spring Harvest Matcha

Made from tea leaves that have experienced the Japanese summer sun, and shaded for 15-20 days, these leaves yield a bold matcha that is rich in catechin. The cup is strong, and is not afraid to stand up to milk and sweetener. It's more affordable and accessible - a great option for the daily matcha drinker.

Shaded for 30 days before harvest, our spring harvest matcha comes from the youngest leaves, highest in chlorophyll, L-theanine, and caffeine. This yields a bright green, umami-rich cup that leaves a lasting, satisfying aftertaste. If you love usucha - this is your best bet

What's the difference between your matcha?

Can you spot the difference?
Think all matcha is the same? Check out some of the key differences between our single origin Matcha vs. Culinary grade Matcha and see if you can spot the difference.
So all of your matcha is ceremonial grade?
No. We grade every tin for what it does best, because “ceremonial” now gets printed on matcha of every quality.
Ceremonial grade: Spring Harvest and Organic Spring Harvest. First-flush leaves, shaded for at least 30 days. Smooth enough to whisk with water alone, even as thick koicha.
Premium grade: Summer Harvest. A later harvest with a bolder, more savoury profile, made for lattes, iced matcha and anything with milk.
So which one should I buy?
Summer Harvest for lattes, iced matcha and baking. It’s the same Yabukita cultivar as our Spring Harvest, picked later in the season, so the flavour is bolder and more savoury and holds up through milk.
Spring Harvest for whisking with water alone. First-flush Yabukita, with strong umami and a delicate sweetness.
Organic Spring Harvest for a certified organic cup from a different cultivar. Okumidori buds later in the spring and gives a deeper green colour and a rounder, mellower flavour.
