Grown and cultivated on the misty mountains of Yame, Japan, Kira is a 100% first-harvest blend that combines prized Okumidori for rich umami sweetness with Yabukita’s vibrant balance. The result: a smooth, creamy matcha balanced with low bitterness, gentle natural sweetness, and soft umami that is characteristic of shaded Yame tea.
Crafted for versatility, Kira shines as a traditional usucha with a calm, focused finish, or whisked into milk for a refined matcha latte. From our tests, the low bitterness also makes this perfect when making creative flavoured variations of matcha latte.
A premium matcha crafted to be your reliable daily driver.
