Product description
Five-cultivar ceremonial blend supplied in a 30 g metal tin. The mix combines Yabukita, Asahi, Saemidori, Samidori and Okumidori to produce a broad flavor profile with more complexity than a single-cultivar powder.
Shade-grown leaves yield a vivid emerald-green color that signals high chlorophyll and amino acid content. The powder is stone-ground using traditional millstones to achieve an ultra-fine texture that creates thick, velvety foam and minimizes grit.
Intended for ceremonial use and versatile enough for everyday recipes. Prepare as Usucha (thin) or Koicha (thick) using a bamboo whisk, or incorporate into lattes, smoothies, and fruit blends. A 30 g tin typically provides about 15–30 servings depending on your scoop and preparation style.
Packaging includes the 30 g tin with an inner seal to help protect freshness after opening. The silken grind and shade-grown origin contribute to pronounced umami, moderate astringency, and a smooth finish suitable for both straight whisking and milk-based preparations.
Pros
- Striking emerald color
- Ultra-fine stone-ground texture
- Layered umami from five cultivars
Cons
- Occasional seaweed-like notes reported
- Small 30 g tin limits longevity
- Minor clumping can occur
VerdictThis Aoyama Edition delivers a layered, savory matcha experience from a five-cultivar blend. The powder is finely stone-milled and presents a vivid emerald hue, producing a creamy foam and smooth mouthfeel with restrained bitterness. The 30g tin is ideal for sampling high-grade ceremonial matcha for Usucha or Koicha, or for crafting lattes and iced drinks. Some minor clumping can occur but breaks

Ceremonial Quality with Fine Grind
Beautiful emerald color and an incredibly fine stone-ground texture. I noticed tiny clumps that separated easily and the powder mixed evenly. Followed the suggested proportions—small splash of room-temp water then hot water—and it produced a nice foam and consistent bowl.

Disappointing Aroma
Sharp seaweed-like smell and flavor on opening that suggests oxidation. Quality control could be improved.

Great for Lattes
Lovely green hue and a mild, smooth taste reminiscent of ceremonial matcha from Japan. A few gritty bits can collect at the end of a cup, but using about 1/4 tsp, a touch of cool water first, whisking, then adding milk or creamer makes a satisfying, foamy matcha latte.

Fresh, Non-Bitter Ceremonial Tea
No puckering bitterness; a pleasant grassy note and strong freshness. The powder seemed to melt into the hot water and brewed into a clean, bright cup—one of the most enjoyable ceremonial batches I’ve had in years.

High-Quality Small Tin
Standout emerald color and authentic umami from the 5-cultivar blend. Stone-ground texture mixes well and the 30 g tin is a convenient way to sample a ceremonial-style matcha.

Smooth, Bright, Easy to Whisk
Very smooth from the first cup with minimal bitterness. The powder is a vivid emerald and mixes readily without fuss. Packaging includes an inner lid that helps preserve freshness once opened.
