Kirari is a first-harvest, single-cultivar matcha from Yame, Fukuoka, picked in early May. It opens with a delicate peachy aroma, followed by a clean mouthfeel and soft umami. Light and expressive, whisked on its own as usucha, and just as lovely with milk.

Why a single cultivar?
Most matcha is a blend of several green tea leaf varieties, mixed to taste the same from batch to batch. Single cultivar matcha comes from just one variety, so nothing smooths out its personality. That's where Kirari's peachy aroma comes from: you're tasting exactly what this plant, grown in Yame's hills, has to offer. That's why every tin feels a little more special. If blends are your daily cup, think of Kirari as the one you slow down for.
For the freshest quality, store in the refrigerator with the tin tightly sealed. Consume within one month of opening for the best quality.
