【 Notice & Storage Instructions 】
At YUGEN, we traditionally offer matcha aged for over six months after harvest. However, due to a recent increase in demand, we are offering freshly harvested 2025 matcha this year.
You may notice a vibrant aroma characteristic of new matcha, though its umami flavor may be lighter compared to aged matcha. For a deeper, richer taste, we recommend enjoying it from autumn onward.
Store your tea in a cool, dark place, away from humidity, direct sunlight, and strong odors.

Uji Matcha Series
We offer four varieties, from #0 to #3. The higher the number, the finer the grade—bitterness becomes more mellow, while umami and sweetness deepen. The aroma grows richer, and the color becomes more vibrant.
Hojicha Pwder (Kyoto)
Made from only the finest first-harvest tea leaves, lightly roasted to bring out both their toasty aroma and natural umami. Carefully controlled temperature and timing create a smooth, well-rounded flavor.
Perfect for hojicha lattes, as well as both Japanese and Western desserts or savory dishes. A versatile hojicha powder that adds depth and a delightful roasted note to any recipe.
