Brewing with hot water yields higher caffeine content and bitterness. For mornings or when you want an energetic boost, brew with hot water.

Since it's finely powdered, it's perfect for cooking and baking.

Matcha Green Tea Powder Grades

Mukoh Matcha's Matcha Green Tea Powder is available in different grades, which are determined by the quality of the tea leaves used, and method of cultivation, and the processing methods. 

[The High-End Grades of Matcha]

There are various grades of matcha available, even within the realm of "Mukoh Matcha." Generally, the matcha you find on the market falls into the categories of Culinary Grade, Confectionary Grade (Green), or occasionally a slightly lower grade. Matcha is often used to make lattes with milk or incorporated into desserts, which means you don't necessarily need to obsess over the grade to enjoy it.

However, if you aim to savor the essence of matcha itself or are interested in matcha for its rich natural nutritional content, we recommend the Premium Grade (Purple), which can be easily dissolved in water, delivering a delicious experience.

For those seeking a taste of "high-end matcha," consider trying the Ceremonial Grade (Gold), which is stone-ground. Stone grinding ensures that no heat is introduced, preserving the true essence of matcha's flavor.

Within the range of "Mukoh Matcha," you can discover even higher-quality and luxurious matcha options. One of the most extravagant offerings is matcha made from "Gyokuro," a variety of tea considered the finest in Japan. What makes it truly exceptional is that it's crafted using Gyokuro tea leaves from the renowned tea-producing region of Yame.

But that's not all; "Mukoh Matcha" goes a step further to provide the highest grade and utmost quality matcha, known as "The Utmost Drop" or "The Legendary Drop," crafted from "Yame Traditional Authentic Gyokuro." This variety of matcha is a rare and exquisite treat that not many, even among the Japanese, have had the opportunity to experience.

"Yame Traditional Authentic Gyokuro" is so rare and precious that even within the limited production of Gyokuro tea, very few qualify as "Yame Traditional Authentic Gyokuro" due to the skill, effort, and scarcity of producers. The tea has received geographical indication (GI) certification from the government, underscoring its rarity and uniqueness.

All the matcha from "Mukoh Matcha" is born out of a strong bond with Yame's tea farmers. It is 100% Yame-grown and follows the principles of Direct Trade.

The product of “Mukoh Matcha” is based on the concept of “something that you and your loved ones can consume”. Therefore, Mukoh Matcha deals with green tea, matcha, and food that we are familiar with, and we have a clear understanding of where, by whom, and how the products are made.

Treat yourself to the taste of time-honored quality with every sip of our exquisite Yame Tea Matcha.

[Yamecha / Yame tea]

Yame Tea is a brand of tea produced in Fukuoka Prefecture, Japan. It is a rare and highly esteemed brand, accounting for only about 3% of the total Japanese tea production. 

Yame Tea is particularly renowned for its exceptional production of traditional premium Gyokuro tea, which holds approximately 45% of the national market share. As a result, Yame Tea boasts the highest average unit price among Japanese teas and is recognized as one of the top luxury tea-producing regions in the country.

The origin of Yame Tea dates back to the year 1423, during the Muromachi period, when the Buddhist monk Eirin Shuzen, returning from China, established Reiganji Temple in Kuroki Town. Along with the temple, he introduced the cultivation and drinking methods of Ming-style (kamairi) tea to the local village headman, Tarojirokyu Matsuo. This marked the beginning of Yame Tea's rich history, which has now reached its 600th anniversary in 2023.

The Yame region is characterized by a geological formation of alluvial plains, where sediment (humus soil) transported by both the Chikugo River and the Yabe River has alternately accumulated. The teas cultivated in this region are known for their rich flavors and sweetness, as evaluated by sensory examinations.

The area's propensity for fog also contributes to the unique qualities of Yame Tea. The gentle slopes of the tea fields, shrouded in mist, provide just the right amount of shade, allowing for the enhanced production of amino acids (such as theanine, glutamic acid, and arginine), which are responsible for the umami taste in tea. This natural occurrence has long made Yame Tea highly prized as a form of premium Gyokuro tea.

[Mukoh Matcha]

"Mukoh Matcha" prides itself on delivering high-quality green tea and matcha sourced exclusively from Fukuoka, Japan's lush, water-rich Yame region, where tea production has been passed down through generations of expert farmers over the past 600 years. 

Unfortunately, even if it is labeled as "Yame tea," it often contains only a small amount of Yame tea and mostly consists of tea from other regions. In contrast, "Mukoh Matcha" guarantees its green tea & matcha are "100% Yame tea" and "single-origin", coming directly from award-winning tea gardens. 

As a mail-order business, "Mukoh Matcha" places the utmost importance on trust, reliability, and promptness to ensure that customers can enjoy the authentic taste of Japanese Green Tea & Matcha with complete peace of mind.
