matcha & hojicha duo

A duo of two of our new AYUMI matcha and our beloved HOJICHA powder, beautifully wrapped in handmade mulberry paper & finished with raffia.

ayumi matcha

A deeply expressive and characterful matcha from Kyotango in northern Kyoto, crafted primarily from the Okumidori cultivar and shaded for over three weeks before being carefully stone-milled into an exceptionally fine powder by our long-time partners in Uji.

Ayumi opens with a savory and layered aromatic profile: steamed sweet snap pea and buttered roasted broccoli notes rise first from the bowl, followed by a roasted sunflower seed richness. A gentle floral lift brings elegance and lightness to the deeper green and nutty character. The texture is velvety and creamy, with a savory umami backbone balanced by soft tannins and gentle bitters that keep things grounded and structured. The finish is slightly herbaceous, lightly drying, and reminiscent of a blooming spring meadow. Ayumi’s pronounced nuttiness and clean savory profile make it especially compelling for premium milk-based preparation, while remaining deeply satisfying prepared pure as usucha.

hojicha powder

Our pure organic hojicha powder comes from a small farm in the beautiful Oi River valley near Mt. Fuji in Shizuoka, Japan. This fog-shrouded valley gives the perfect terroir & weather for some of the best senchas in Japan. The stems, veins & leaves of the fall harvest are carefully & deeply roasted to create this comforting, rich & roasty hojicha which tastes amazing as a latte.
