MDM Premium Ichibancha Matcha Powder - Japanese Import (Mie)

Product Description

This MDM premium matcha is a 100% ichibancha (first flush) green tea powder, cultivated in Mie Prefecture, Japan, a region well known for Ise cha tea production. It is made from the rare Okumidori cultivar, known for being difficult to grow but delivering a vivid green color and a pronounced umami flavor. This matcha is by more than 100 professional cafés and restaurants across Japan, a mark of consistent quality.

Thanks to careful grinding into ultra-fine particles of about 5 microns, this matcha dissolves easily and produces a smooth, abundant foam when whisked, whether prepared with a traditional chasen or a shaker. Its flavor is round, low in bitterness and rich in umami, typical of first-flush teas. It suits both traditional tea ceremony preparation and professional use in pastry, lattes, and culinary recipes.

This is a 100% authentic physical product imported directly from Japan, produced by a family-run tea farm established in 1958 in the Ise region. Cultivation relies on minimal use of pesticides, and no pesticide residue was detected in this batch.
