A ceremonial grade matcha coming from the lovely Obubu tea farms in Wazuka, Kyoto prefecture. The samidori cultivar is a rare variety which has its origin in Uji and is mainly grown in Uji and the surrounding areas (such as Wazuka). Although it has a low yield, Samidori makes an excellent matcha, tencha, and gyokuro. Indeed, it is silky and smooth with a subtle sweetness, rich in umami flavour. To produce this matcha, the Samidori tea leaves where shaded for three to four weeks before harvest and then processed to tencha, then grounded for hours in stone mills.
\nCultivation & processing notes: Shaded for 3-4 weeks prior to harvest, steamed and dried without rolling to make tencha leaves. Refined tencha leaves are then ground by stone mill into matcha powder.
Kyoto Obubu Tea Plantations, is a Japanese tea brand owned and operated by tea farmers in the town of Wazuka, Kyoto. Started by Akihiro Kita and Yasuharu Matsumoto in 2004, the company began as an agricultural social venture.

A ceremonial grade matcha coming from the lovely Obubu tea farms in Wazuka, Kyoto prefecture. The samidori cultivar is a rare variety which has its origin in Uji and is mainly grown in Uji and the surrounding areas (such as Wazuka). Although it has a low yield, Samidori makes an excellent matcha, tencha, and gyokuro. Indeed, it is silky and smooth with a subtle sweetness, rich in umami flavour. To produce this matcha, the Samidori tea leaves where shaded for three to four weeks before harvest and then processed to tencha, then grounded for hours in stone mills.
\nCultivation & processing notes: Shaded for 3-4 weeks prior to harvest, steamed and dried without rolling to make tencha leaves. Refined tencha leaves are then ground by stone mill into matcha powder.
Kyoto Obubu Tea Plantations, is a Japanese tea brand owned and operated by tea farmers in the town of Wazuka, Kyoto. Started by Akihiro Kita and Yasuharu Matsumoto in 2004, the company began as an agricultural social venture. Akky and Matsu's aim was and still is, to teach tea lovers both in Japan and overseas about the value of tea farming, and to contribute to society through tea.

If you have travelled to Kyoto, Japan, you may have come across this Onomiyasu Koyocha (or Kouyoucha) as you visited Buddhist temples such as Ryoanji, and places of accommodation.
\n
Indeed, the Kyoto Kouyoucha has been the number 1 product sold annually in Kyoto. This matcha blend includes matcha from Kyoto, powdered shiso (perilla leaves), ume (Japanese plum), and konbu (kelp seaweed) which together creates a savory, mellow, and salty combination that is sure to help bring you to enlightenment.
\n
In Japan, kombu (kelp/seaweed) is an essential aspect of the Japanese cuisine. The konbu is dried, then it is often cut into small pieces or crushed into a powder. Konbu is often utilized in celebratory occasions to symbolize felicity. This is because the sound 'konbu' is similar to the word 'yorokobu' which means 'to rejoice' in Japanese. Because the ingredients of this tea are often utilized in Japanese cuisine, you can also experiment using this tea in your cuisine as flavoring or to make ochazuke. Enjoy!

About the Nakai family
\n
Since the late 17th century, the Nakai family has been cultivating tea in the village of Wazuka, Kyoto. The 6th tea master, Masao Nakai, began organic and non-pesticide cultivation in 1980, a time when few people were concerned about producing organically. Aiming to create an agricultural system that coexists with the natural environment of the beautiful mountains, Nakai-san was a pioneer in the tea industry of Kyoto. His son, 7th tea master Michio Nakai, continues this tradition today.

Tenchafarmers from Wazuka Village, Kyoto—Hori-san and her daughter (unfortunately, our friend, daughter Megumi, passed away in 2023)—bring you a small batch (only a few dozen kg harvested) matcha made from Okumidori, a cultivar known for it's deep, dark green color, and delicate flavor profile. While the cultivar was developed to make sencha, now it is becoming common to see a Okumidori cultivar based matcha or gyokuro. It is often the case that this cultivar is blended with another/other cultivar(s). But the Kiroku Tea Garden bring you a single cultivar Okumidori matcha for you to try!

Product Info
\n
\n
\nIngredients: Green tea
\n
\nCultivar: Okumidori
\n
\nHarvest: Spring
\n
\nNotes: No pesticides used prior to harvest, synthetic fertilizers used.
The 4th generation Kiroku Tea Garden is in the heart of Wazuka, Kyoto prefecture, an area whose mountain tea fields and undulating terraced slopes thick with fog make perfect tea-growing conditions. Founded nearly 100 years ago, before cars and farming machinery were available, their mountain fields were cleared by hand by the Great-Grandfather of sisters Megumi and Ui Hori.
\n
Today, with their mother, the sisters find themselves in the unusual position of being a farm entirely owned and operated by women. After the passing of their father, the three women took over the running of the farm to continue their family’s legacy, one that began in these fields all those years ago. In the male-dominated tea agriculture and production industry, their efforts are a challenge to the status quo. At Yunomi, we are proud to support their dedication. To learn more about the Kiroku Tea Garden, please check out our interview with Ui Hori (posted April 2021).

Tenchafarmers from Wazuka Village, Kyoto—Hori-san and her daughter (unfortunately, our friend, daughter Megumi, passed away in 2023)—bring you a small batch (only a few dozen kg harvested) matcha made from Okumidori, a cultivar known for it's deep, dark green color, and delicate flavor profile. While the cultivar was developed to make sencha, now it is becoming common to see a Okumidori cultivar based matcha or gyokuro. It is often the case that this cultivar is blended with another/other cultivar(s). But the Kiroku Tea Garden bring you a single cultivar Okumidori matcha for you to try!

Product Info
\n
\n
\nIngredients: Green tea
\n
\nCultivar: Okumidori
\n
\nHarvest: Spring
\n
\nNotes: No pesticides used prior to harvest, synthetic fertilizers used.
The 4th generation Kiroku Tea Garden is in the heart of Wazuka, Kyoto prefecture, an area whose mountain tea fields and undulating terraced slopes thick with fog make perfect tea-growing conditions. Founded nearly 100 years ago, before cars and farming machinery were available, their mountain fields were cleared by hand by the Great-Grandfather of sisters Megumi and Ui Hori.
\n
Today, with their mother, the sisters find themselves in the unusual position of being a farm entirely owned and operated by women. After the passing of their father, the three women took over the running of the farm to continue their family’s legacy, one that began in these fields all those years ago. In the male-dominated tea agriculture and production industry, their efforts are a challenge to the status quo. At Yunomi, we are proud to support their dedication. To learn more about the Kiroku Tea Garden, please check out our interview with Ui Hori (posted April 2021).

Product Details
\n
\n
\nIngredients: Green tea.
\n
\nHarvest: Spring (In order to create this specific flavor profile at this price, leaves from current and past year may be blended). Importance is placed on final matcha flavor in blending.
\n
\nPackaging: Silver plastic bag inside resealable outer bag. \n
\n
\nRegion: Cultivated and ground in Kyoto, Japan.
\n
\nStorage: We recommend storing one 30-gram bag at room temperature for daily use in the screw top can or resealable bag, and the remaining in your freezer for long-term storage if you buy more than one at once. NOTE: For freezer storage, double-seal in a plastic ziplock bag and tupperware container for maximum freshness and to avoid other food smells from affecting the matcha. Always allow the bag to sit for 24-hours before unsealing to acclimate to room temperature. This avoids condensation from damaging the matcha powder.
\n
\n
How much does 30 grams of matcha make?
\n
It depends on how thick you make your matcha and how much you make, but if you use 1 gram (about 1/3 teaspoon) to make a 100 ml cup, that's 30 cups of matcha!
\n
Did you know matcha is best when it's freshly ground?
\n
How good your matcha is depends of course on the quality of the underlying leaf. However, producers buy many different production lots from many different farmers. Their skill, the reason why we call them master blenders, is in blending the leaves prior to grinding to create a specific profile in terms of powder color, powder aroma, grain size, matcha color, and most importantly the flavor of the matcha.
\n
While the harvest season can make a big difference in quality since larger autumn leaves will be more bitter and more difficult to grind into fine powder, the harvest year is not necessarily important particularly right after the spring harvest (May - August). At this time, leaves may actually be too fresh to make good matcha--their flavor may create matcha that is very strong in umami but also too bitter. Meanwhile, leaves that have aged over the past year will be more mellow and perfect for balancing the fresh leaf.
\n
Matcha however does get old quickly after grinding. In 6 months after grinding the color will fade, and the aroma will disappear. After 9 months, the strength of the flavor will also fade. As a result, higher grade matcha tends to have a best by date of 3-6 months, while lower grade matcha has a best by date of 12 months in Japan. Western brands often have a 18-24 month shelf life though.
\n
As a rule, we do our best to ensure that the Yunomi branded matcha is never older the 6 months from grinding, and that matcha other brands are never older than 6 months from procurement.

Product Details
\n
\n
\nIngredients: Green tea.
\n
\nHarvest: Spring (In order to create this specific flavor profile at this price, leaves from current and past year may be blended). Importance is placed on final matcha flavor in blending.
\n
\nPackaging: Silver plastic bag inside resealable outer bag. \n
\n
\nRegion: Cultivated and ground in Kyoto, Japan.
\n
\nStorage: We recommend storing one 30-gram bag at room temperature for daily use in the screw top can or resealable bag, and the remaining in your freezer for long-term storage if you buy more than one at once. NOTE: For freezer storage, double-seal in a plastic ziplock bag and tupperware container for maximum freshness and to avoid other food smells from affecting the matcha. Always allow the bag to sit for 24-hours before unsealing to acclimate to room temperature. This avoids condensation from damaging the matcha powder.
\n
\n
How much does 30 grams of matcha make?
\n
It depends on how thick you make your matcha and how much you make, but if you use 1 gram (about 1/3 teaspoon) to make a 100 ml cup, that's 30 cups of matcha!
\n
Did you know matcha is best when it's freshly ground?
\n
How good your matcha is depends of course on the quality of the underlying leaf. However, producers buy many different production lots from many different farmers. Their skill, the reason why we call them master blenders, is in blending the leaves prior to grinding to create a specific profile in terms of powder color, powder aroma, grain size, matcha color, and most importantly the flavor of the matcha.
\n
While the harvest season can make a big difference in quality since larger autumn leaves will be more bitter and more difficult to grind into fine powder, the harvest year is not necessarily important particularly right after the spring harvest (May - August). At this time, leaves may actually be too fresh to make good matcha--their flavor may create matcha that is very strong in umami but also too bitter. Meanwhile, leaves that have aged over the past year will be more mellow and perfect for balancing the fresh leaf.
\n
Matcha however does get old quickly after grinding. In 6 months after grinding the color will fade, and the aroma will disappear. After 9 months, the strength of the flavor will also fade. As a result, higher grade matcha tends to have a best by date of 3-6 months, while lower grade matcha has a best by date of 12 months in Japan. Western brands often have a 18-24 month shelf life though.
\n
As a rule, we do our best to ensure that the Yunomi branded matcha is never older the 6 months from grinding, and that matcha other brands are never older than 6 months from procurement.
Obubu's Basic Culinary Grade Matcha is their most economical selection. It is ideal for large-scale food production. Basic Culinary Grade Matcha is produced using unshaded, autumn-harvested leaves and a ball mill which allows large quantity of matcha powder to be produced. However, due to its production process (crushing tea leaves into matcha by falling stones), some of the aroma and flavor of the tea leaves are lost during the process. The color that is produced by using Basic Culinary Grade Matcha is good but it is not as richly flavored as the Premium Culinary Grade. We recommend this product if you are planning to use matcha powder in large quantities.
A few amazing culinary explorers have been sharing their delicious matcha recipes. For ideas on how to create with this premium ingredient, see the matcha recipe collection on Cookpad.

Obubu's Basic Culinary Grade Matcha is their most economical selection. It is ideal for large-scale food production. Basic Culinary Grade Matcha is produced using unshaded, autumn-harvested leaves and a ball mill which allows large quantity of matcha powder to be produced. However, due to its production process (crushing tea leaves into matcha by falling stones), some of the aroma and flavor of the tea leaves are lost during the process. The color that is produced by using Basic Culinary Grade Matcha is good but it is not as richly flavored as the Premium Culinary Grade. We recommend this product if you are planning to use matcha powder in large quantities.

Always allow the bag to sit for 24-hours before unsealing to acclimate to room temperature. This avoids condensation from damaging the matcha powder.
\n
\n
How much does 30 grams of matcha make?
\n
It depends on how thick you make your matcha and how much you make, but if you use 1 gram (about 1/3 teaspoon) to make a 100 ml cup, that's 30 cups of matcha!
\n
Did you know matcha is best when it's freshly ground?
\n
How good your matcha is depends of course on the quality of the underlying leaf. However, producers buy many different production lots from many different farmers. Their skill, the reason why we call them master blenders, is in blending the leaves prior to grinding to create a specific profile in terms of powder color, powder aroma, grain size, matcha color, and most importantly the flavor of the matcha.
\n
While the harvest season can make a big difference in quality since larger autumn leaves will be more bitter and more difficult to grind into fine powder, the harvest year is not necessarily important particularly right after the spring harvest (May - August). At this time, leaves may actually be too fresh to make good matcha--their flavor may create matcha that is very strong in umami but also too bitter. Meanwhile, leaves that have aged over the past year will be more mellow and perfect for balancing the fresh leaf.
\n
Matcha however does get old quickly after grinding. In 6 months after grinding the color will fade, and the aroma will disappear. After 9 months, the strength of the flavor will also fade. As a result, higher grade matcha tends to have a best by date of 3-6 months, while lower grade matcha has a best by date of 12 months in Japan. Western brands often have a 18-24 month shelf life though.
\n
As a rule, we do our best to ensure that the Yunomi branded matcha is never older the 6 months from grinding, and that matcha other brands are never older than 6 months from procurement.

How much does 30 grams of matcha make?
\n
It depends on how thick you make your matcha and how much you make, but if you use 1 gram (about 1/3 teaspoon) to make a 100 ml cup, that's 30 cups of matcha!
\n
Did you know matcha is best when it's freshly ground?
\n
How good your matcha is depends of course on the quality of the underlying leaf. However, producers buy many different production lots from many different farmers. Their skill, the reason why we call them master blenders, is in blending the leaves prior to grinding to create a specific profile in terms of powder color, powder aroma, grain size, matcha color, and most importantly the flavor of the matcha.
\n
While the harvest season can make a big difference in quality since larger autumn leaves will be more bitter and more difficult to grind into fine powder, the harvest year is not necessarily important particularly right after the spring harvest (May - August). At this time, leaves may actually be too fresh to make good matcha--their flavor may create matcha that is very strong in umami but also too bitter. Meanwhile, leaves that have aged over the past year will be more mellow and perfect for balancing the fresh leaf.
\n
Matcha however does get old quickly after grinding. In 6 months after grinding the color will fade, and the aroma will disappear. After 9 months, the strength of the flavor will also fade. As a result, higher grade matcha tends to have a best by date of 3-6 months, while lower grade matcha has a best by date of 12 months in Japan. Western brands often have a 18-24 month shelf life though.
\n
As a rule, we do our best to ensure that the Yunomi branded matcha is never older the 6 months from grinding, and that matcha other brands are never older than 6 months from procurement.

Kyoto, the ancient capital, is perhaps the most famous locale in Japan. A city of World Heritage Sites featuring temples and shrines centuries old, Kyoto is a showcase of traditional Japanese culture. Uji-cha, or tea from the city of Uji, just south of Kyoto, is a cornerstone of the thousand-year history of Kyoto and thus Japan.
Uji-cha is regarded as the origin of Japanese tea production, where the Buddhist monk Eisai started the first tea fields to provide tea to the country's nobility. The leaves are grown primarily in surrounding municipalities (Ujitawara, Wazuka, etc.) and refined by factories in Uji. Uji-cha production dates back to the Kamakura period (1185-1333), and in the 13th century tea fields were founded near the famous Byodo-in temple. As time went by the name of Uji-cha spread throughout Japan, and Sen-no-rikyu, the priest who made the tea ceremony famous, played a critical role in establishing the region's fame. Today, Uji-cha is known for high quality tea such as gyokuro and matcha, as Shizuoka and Kagoshima dominate production of tea on the whole.
