- About Our Signature Range
No.001 offers a beautiful blend with Okumidori from the enchanting tea region of Wazuka in Kyoto. Nestled in the valley near Uji, Wazuka is a highly regarded place for producing some of the finest Japanese teas, and its tea production dates back over 800 years. Our matcha uses only the very first harvest of each year and is stone ground in Uji. Enjoy the rich, full-bodied flavour of the historical Uji matcha.
We created this 50g value pack for our loyal daily matcha drinkers who enjoy our signature range. It's an economical option perfect for regular consumption. However, if you don't drink matcha frequently, we recommend choosing a smaller size to preserve its freshness. There’s nothing quite like the smell of freshly opened matcha!

Important Note:
Please note that this batch of MATSU matcha no.001 and no.002 does not come with organic labels due to a logistics issue during the import process. Rather than returning the shipment to Japan for re-processing, which would be wasteful of resources on many levels, we have chosen to offer these products at a 10% discount as a gesture of appreciation for your understanding. Rest assured, the matcha is produced with the same high standards and premium quality as always. The discount will be automatically applied at the checkout.
MATSU matcha No.001-003 are exclusive blends created in collaboration with an esteemed Japanese tea sommelier. Each blend is meticulously crafted to bring out the unique flavour profiles specific to the renowned matcha regions Kyoto and Kirishima. A perfect go-to for both usucha (straight matcha, akin to drip coffee) and lattes.
