Yutakamidori Matcha is a ceremonial-grade single cultivar selected for its rich savory character, weighty texture, and long, satisfying finish.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp dir=\"ltr\"\u003eThe first sip brings a pronounced umami that fills the palate immediately, followed by a deep, brothy richness with a hint of dark green intensity underneath. Its full body and thick mouthfeel give the matcha a satisfying weight, while the lingering finish carries the savory notes well after the cup is done. There is a gentle bitterness at the edges, but it stays in balance and adds to the depth rather than taking over.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp dir=\"ltr\"\u003eGrown in Kagoshima in southern Japan, Yutakamidori is one of the region's most widely planted cultivars and is known for producing matcha with strong umami and a deep, dark green colour. Whisk it with water for a rich, full-flavored usucha, or use it in a latte where its savory depth cuts through milk instead of disappearing into it. Over ice, the umami stays firm and the finish turns clean and refreshing.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp dir=\"ltr\"\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eFlavor Profile\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cbr\u003eBold • Savory • Deep Umami • Full-Bodied • Long Finish\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp dir=\"ltr\"\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eWhy You'll Love It\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cul dir=\"ltr\"\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eDeep Umami — A strong, brothy savory depth that defines this cultivar.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eFull-Bodied — Thick and weighty in the mouth, with real presence in every sip.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eBold Character — Flavorful and assertive, for those who find lighter matcha too delicate.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eHolds Up in Milk — The savory depth stays clear in lattes rather than getting lost.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eSingle Cultivar — 100% Yutakamidori, so you taste the character of one cultivar from one region.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eLong Finish — Savory notes that linger well after the cup.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\u003cp dir=\"ltr\"\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eRecommended Preparation\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cbr\u003eFor a traditional cup, sift 2g of matcha into a bowl and add approximately 60–70ml of warm water.
