MIYUKI
Competition organic Matcha
Description
Organic matcha is rare in Japan in general, and in Kyushu in particular. Selected by the highly skilled team of Koga Cha Gyo in Yame, the leaves of this competition-grade organic matcha come from Kagoshima.
Hand-picked during the first harvest of the year, this ceremonial matcha is a true gem that will win the hearts of the most demanding matcha lovers. Its deep emerald color will impress you, along with its sweetness, perfumed notes and savory umami.
With its light touch of astringency and creamy aftertaste, this matcha offers you a refined experience.
Food pairing recommendations
You may enjoy this tea by itself or pair it with a wagashi, a piece of chocolate, or a dark chocolate truffle. This matcha may also be paired with light seafood dishes or with a semi-soft cheese like smoked gouda or havarti, or sifted onto a salad with spring greens and fresh fruit, like strawberries.

Matcha Purchase
Bought a bunch of matcha and it was all very good. Looking forward to ordering more.
Excellent Organic Matcha!
I only drink organic matcha! This matcha is delicious to drink straight or with your favorite type of milk. I mostly drink it straight! I love the taste as it is. I tried many different brands and grades of matcha and this one is superior to all of them!
My favorite matcha
I have been testing dozens of Matchas and none every matched the rich taste of MIYUKI. The strong Umami is well balanced by slight bitter note. I keep it in the freezer which prolongs its shelf life to months without losing any flavour
