This allows the leaves to mature without obtaining bitterness. The results is an ultra delicate green tea with an extremely sweet and complex taste profile. The Kurihara family's Heritage Gyokuro is grown beneath traditional, handmade bamboo and\/or straw shading. The moisture that drips from this natural shading flavors the tea -- a return to the past with this gourmet tea.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e \u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch2\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eAdvanced cultivation technique \u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cspan\u003e(See tea plant photo) Termination of apex domination.

NOTE: For freezer storage, double-seal in a plastic ziplock bag and tupperware container for maximum freshness and to avoid other food smells from affecting the matcha. Always allow the bag to sit for 24-hours before unsealing to acclimate to room temperature.

However, producers buy many different production lots from many different farmers. Their skill, the reason why we call them master blenders, is in blending the leaves prior to grinding to create a specific profile in terms of powder color, powder aroma, grain size,matcha color, andmost importantly the flavor of the matcha.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eWhile the harvest season can make a big difference in quality since larger autumn leaves will be more bitter and more difficult to grind into fine powder, the harvest year is not necessarily important particularly right after the spring harvest (May - August). At this time, leaves may actually be too fresh to make good matcha--their flavor may create matcha that is very strong in umami but also too bitter.Meanwhile, leaves that have aged over the past yearwillbemore mellowand perfect for balancing the fresh leaf.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eMatcha however does get old quickly after grinding. In 6 months after grinding the color will fade, and the aroma will disappear. After 9 months, the strength of the flavor will also fade.As a result, higher grade matcha tends to have a best by date of 3-6 months, while lower grade matcha has a best by date of 12 months in Japan. Western brands often have a 18-24 month shelf life though.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eAs a rule, we do our best to ensure that the Yunomi branded matcha is never older the 6 months from grinding, and that matcha other brands are never older than 6 months from procurement.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Yunomi.Wholesale","offers":[{"title":"YUNOMI BRAND: 30g \/ 1 oz \/ Refill Bag in Gift Can and box","offer_id":31867031355497,"sku":"YMG05w-030","price":4000.0,"currency_code":"JPY","in_stock":false},{"title":"YUNOMI BRAND: Case of 300g (30g x 10 gift cans and boxes) \/ 10.6 oz","offer_id":42566649872489,"sku":"YMG05w-030x10-case","price":38000.0,"currency_code":"JPY","in_stock":false},{"title":"YUNOMI BRAND: 250g \/ 8.8 oz \/ Silver Stand-up Resealable Bag","offer_id":40241568153705,"sku":"YMG05w-250","price":18000.0,"currency_code":"JPY","in_stock":false},{"title":"MULTIPACK 300g (30g x 10 unbranded refill bags) \/ 10.6 oz","offer_id":39373938229353,"sku":"YMG05w-030x10","price":26000.0,"currency_code":"JPY","in_stock":false},{"title":"MULTIPACK 1kg (100g x 10 unbranded resealable bags) \/ 2.2 lbs","offer_id":42221623279721,"sku":"YMG05w-100x10","price":66000.0,"currency_code":"JPY","in_stock":false},{"title":"MULTIPACK 1kg (250g x 4 unbranded resealable bags) \/ 2.2 lbs","offer_id":40530107957353,"sku":"YMG05w-250x4","price":66000.0,"currency_code":"JPY","in_stock":false},{"title":"MULTIPACK 1kg (500g x 2 unbranded resealable bags) \/ 2.2 lbs","offer_id":42863648669801,"sku":"YMG05w-500x2","price":66000.0,"currency_code":"JPY","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0926\/4578\/files\/matcha-naruto-barista-grade.jpg?v=1749176610"},{"product_id":"yamane-en-kakegawa-fukamushi","title":"#0143.S5 Yamane-en: Kakegawa Fukamushicha Black Label 特選ブラック掛川茶","description":"\u003cp\u003e\u003ca href=\"https:\/\/yumenet.live\/collections\/fukamushicha\" target=\"_blank\"\u003eFukamushi sencha\u003c\/a\u003e from Kakegawa region in Shizuoka Prefecture, famous throughout Japan as one of the major tea production regions.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThis farm cooperative that made this deep steamed sencha has won the Regional Award at the 67th (2013) and 75th (2021) National Tea Competition under the division of Fukamushi Sencha.

It was derived from a cross of Sakimidori (the mother or pollen parent) and Saemidori (the father or pollen parent. Saemidori itself a cross between Yabukita and Asatsuyu cultivars). The cultivar was first produced in 1994 with traits such as disease and cold resistance, good growth, and tea quality in mind, and indeed has shown very good resistance against frost so has been recommended to farmers cultivating at higher elevations. In general, the quality of tea made from the Kirari 31 is greater than that of Yabukita and compares with the umami level and color of Saemidori. Ready for harvest in general 3-4 days earlier than Yabukita, it has an excellent color (as you may be able to tell from the photo) with a mild flavor that is similar to Saemidori quality.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e","brand":"Okutomi Tea Garden","offers":[{"title":"5 grams \/ Mid-April","offer_id":40599166386281,"sku":"oktmi10-005-y26","price":3940.0,"currency_code":"JPY","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0926\/4578\/files\/49b380d8530d1be2f8c97470150c8e03.jpg?v=1682432741"},{"product_id":"kanes-tea-honzu-no-5-competition-grade-asamushi-sencha-from-kawane-shizuoka","title":"#0398.S5 Kanes Tea: 2026 Honzu No. 5 - Competition Grade Asamushi Sencha from Kawane, Shizuoka","description":"\u003cdiv style=\"text-align: right;\"\u003e\u003cimg style=\"margin-bottom: 10px; margin-left: 10px; float: right;\" width=\"160\" src=\"https:\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0926\/4578\/files\/naomi-komatsu.jpg?v=1603158471\" alt=\"Naomi Komatsu, Kanes Tea Factory\"\u003e\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eKomatsu Naomi of \u003ca rel=\"noopener noreferrer\" href=\"https:\/\/yumenet.live\/collections\/kanes-tea-factory\" title=\"Kanes Tea Factory\" target=\"_blank\"\u003eKanes Tea Factory\u003c\/a\u003e always has the best tea in mind for the Japanese tea connoisseurs of yumenet.live.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThis yabukita cultivar tea leaf was shaded for 5 days before harvest beneath traditional straw shading (the kind used in heritage grade gyokuro and matcha).
