Yabukita Matcha

Mizuba is honored to be one of the few tea companies to whom legendary matcha farmer and producer, Tsuji-san, sells his premier, hand-harvested matcha. We are excited to present you the opportunity to taste his single-estate, unblended, single-cultivar Yabukita Matcha.  About the Yabukita Cultivar:  Fundamental to an understanding of Japanese green tea is knowing and appreciating the taste of the tea cultivar Yabukita. Yabukita is considered the cornerstone flavor of Japanese tea as its taste delivers a well-balanced flavor, elegant aroma, sweetness along with umami, and pleasant astringency. One of the oldest registered cultivars in Japan and most popularly grown (accounting for over 70% of Japan's tea production), Yabukita is often used as a benchmark to evaluate sencha made from other Japanese tea cultivars. While Yabukita may be common, Tsuji-san's spring-harvested  Yabukita is the top of its class and a prime example of what to love about Japan’s most iconic flavor.   About Tsuj
