NEXT HARVEST DROPS FIRST.
The six grades · read by how you drink them
Grouped by preparation — bowl, milk, in-bar — not by price. Every grade gets the same five minutes, including the cheapest one.
Not sure which one? Answer 4 questions →Sealed in Uji · drunk straight, no milk · the meditative pour
Usucha · entry · 50g tin · RM 65
01clean, quiet finish
02no bitterness to hide behind
03built for every day
5–15 microns · sealed at origin
Not for
Not for milk — a thin-whisk grade like this disappears under oat or dairy. Reach for Muyu if you're adding milk.
Koicha · 30g tin · RM 95
01thick, glossy, honey-like
02intense umami, no shortcuts
03built for slow sipping
12–16 microns · sealed at origin
Not for
Not for your first ceremonial bowl, and not for milk. Koicha is unforgiving of an imperfect pour if you haven't had ceremonial matcha before — start with Wakaba or Rikyu and work up to this.
Sealed in Uji · built to hold their edge under oat and whole milk
Daily · 30g tin · RM 90
01bright and grassy
02quick, clean finish
03holds up in milk and heat
10–14 microns · sealed at origin
Not for
Not the grade for a slow, meditative bowl on its own — it's built to hold up inside a latte or a bake, not to be the star of a quiet pour. Reach for Rikyu or Hikari for that.
Milk-forward · 30g tin · RM 125
01holds its own in oat milk
02rounded, not bitter
03built for iced lattes
15–20 microns · sealed at origin
Not for
Not for a straight bowl — it's built for company (milk), not to be drunk alone the way Rikyu or Hikari are. A usucha purist will find it one-dimensional without milk.
Milled in front of you · no tin exists until you order it
Fresh-mill signature · 30g tin · RM 199
01freshly milled, still warm from the stone
02bright, high in sweetness
03one farm, no blend
5–10 microns · milled in-bar, same day
Not for
Not for stockpiling — the take-home tin is sealed the day it's milled, not months earlier at a vacuum-sealing origin cannery. Buy what you'll drink within a few weeks.
Leaf spec being reconfirmed
Fresh-mill · competition grade · 30g tin · RM 249
01the deepest pour on the card
02reserved-bowl intensity
03milled fresh, same as Ritual 003
5–10 microns · milled in-bar, same day
Not for
Not for milk drinks, and not something we wholesale — this is the reserve pour, drunk straight, kept bar-only.
Try them on a stool.
