Naoki Matcha Organic First Spring Blend Matcha Powder 50g — Ceremonial-grade, Mild Cocoa Notes

Naoki Matcha Organic First Spring Blend is a 50g ceremonial-grade, JAS-certified matcha powder grown in Kagoshima and milled for a mild, cacao-noted flavor ideal for tea, lattes, and daily rituals.

Harvested from first-spring leaves in the volcanic soils around Kagoshima, this organic matcha is shade-grown, processed into tencha, and stone-milled shortly before export. The 50 g resealable pouch contains about 25 servings (1 tsp / 2 g per serving) and is formulated to deliver a smooth, low-bitterness profile that works well both whisked as usucha and blended into milk or plant-based lattes.

How does this matcha taste and how can I use it?

Naoki Matcha First Spring Blend leans toward a mellow, slightly sweet flavor with subtle raw cocoa notes and minimal astringency. Its gentle profile makes it versatile: thin whisked tea, richer matcha lattes, smoothies, and baking.

• Flavor: mild umami with cocoa undertones and low bitterness
• Best uses: usucha (thin tea), lattes, smoothies, desserts
• Serving guide: 1 tsp (≈2 g) per cup; whisk with 70–80°C water for best flavor

What makes this matcha organic and ceremonial grade?

This product is certified organic under JAS standards, recognized by USDA equivalence, and made from first-harvest leaves—often considered higher in flavor concentration. The leaves are shade-grown, converted to tencha, and ground into matcha using controlled milling processes in Japan before shipping.

• Certification: JAS organic certification for the finished powder
• Leaf selection: first-harvest (spring) leaves from Kagoshima
• Processing: tencha production and immediate milling practices
• Origin: produced and packed with oversight in the Kagoshima tea region

How many servings are in the 50 g pouch and how should I store it?

The resealable 50 g package yields approximately 25 standard servings at 2 g each. Store the pouch sealed in a cool, dark place and refrigerate after opening to preserve aroma and color; use within a few months for peak freshness.

• Servings: ~25 servings per 50 g pouch (1 tsp ≈ 2 g)
• Storage: reseal, keep cool and away from direct light
• Longevity: best flavor if used within months after opening
• Packaging benefit: resealable pouch avoids needing a bulky tin

Who is this for? This Naoki Matcha First Spring Blend fits home tea enthusiasts and latte lovers who want a ceremonial-grade, certified-organic powder with a gentle, low-bitter character. It’s also suitable for cooks and bakers seeking a bright green, fine-textured matcha for recipes, and for anyone preferring a resealable 50 g format instead of a larger tin.
