ISSHIKI Yabukita Ceremonial Matcha Powder — Uji, 30g Tin, Bright Green Silky Texture

Harvested in the famed Uji region and milled from the Yabukita cultivar, this 30g tin delivers concentrated umami and a balanced finish that works beautifully for classic tea preparation and elevated lattes alike. The powder’s texture and color show its ceremonial intent—bright green, silky, and formulated to froth easily with a bamboo whisk. Store in a cool, dry place and use about 1.5 g per traditional serving to experience the intended flavor profile.

How should I prepare Isshiki Yabukita for a traditional cup?

For a ceremonial-style bowl, sift the matcha to remove clumps, measure roughly 1.5 g (about 1/2 teaspoon), and add 2–3 ounces of water at about 175°F. Whisk briskly in a W motion until a fine froth forms and the texture feels smooth on the tongue. This method highlights the powder’s structured mouthfeel and clean finish.

• Sift before whisking to ensure smooth crema.
• Use 175°F water to avoid bitterness.
• Whisk quickly in a W pattern for even froth.
• One tin yields ~20 traditional servings at 1.5 g each.

Can Isshiki Yabukita be used in lattes and cold drinks?

Yes—this matcha adapts well to milk-based and iced preparations. Its bold umami holds up against dairy and plant milks, giving drinks a vibrant green color and a velvety mouthfeel. Adjust the powder amount to suit drink size and sweetness, and whisk or blend thoroughly for consistent texture.

• Use more powder for larger lattes, less for subtle flavor.
• Blend with hot or cold milk for creamy texture.
• Try 1.5–3 g of powder depending on drink strength.
• Great in hot lattes, iced matcha, and blended drinks.

How should I store and measure the 30g tin to keep it fresh?

The 30g packaging contains about 20 traditional 1.5 g servings; use a small scale or a leveled 1/2 teaspoon scoop for consistent results. Tight closure after each use helps maintain peak flavor for as long as possible.

• Close the tin securely after every use.
