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":"dobashien-single-cultivar-sencha-asatsuyu","title":"#0201.S5 Dobashien Tea #08: Kakegawa Series: Single Cultivar Sencha, Asatsuyu 煎茶  朝露","description":"\u003cp\u003eSencha Asatsuyu is a single cultivar green tea made from Shizuoka prefecture's \u003cem\u003easatsuyu\u003c\/em\u003e cultivar, famous for naturally providing a gyokuro-like taste profile filled with umami richness. \u003cspan data-mce-fragment=\"1\" style=\"font-weight: 400;\" data-mce-style=\"font-weight: 400;\"\u003eIt has a mellow sweetness and is often utilised for making high-quality tea. \u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cspan data-mce-fragment=\"1\" style=\"font-weight: 400;\" data-mce-style=\"font-weight: 400;\"\u003eOf course, one can enjoy this tea hot but the Dobashien Tea Company also recommends to try it cold-steeped during the warmer seasons.

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. This avoids condensation from damaging the matcha powder.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\u003ch2\u003eDid you know matcha is best when it's freshly ground?\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eHow good your matcha is depends of course on the quality of the underlying leaf. 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, and most 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\u003cspan\u003e \u003c\/span\u003ehave aged over the past year will be more mellow and 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\n\u003cp\u003e \u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Yunomi.Wholesale","offers":[{"title":"2026 harvest \/ 30g \/ 1 oz \/ Refill Bag","offer_id":32020017545321,"sku":"YMG03w-030","price":5750.0,"currency_code":"JPY","in_stock":true},{"title":"2026 harvest \/ MULTIPACK 300g (30g x 10 refill bags) \/ 10.6 oz \/ 2026 Harvest","offer_id":28980175301,"sku":"YMG03w-030x10","price":46000.0,"currency_code":"JPY","in_stock":true},{"title":"2026 harvest \/ MULTIPACK 15kg (30g x 500 refill bags)","offer_id":47718057181289,"sku":"YMG03w-030x500","price":2000000.0,"currency_code":"JPY","in_stock":true},{"title":"2026 harvest \/ MULTIPACK 3kg (30g x 100 pulltop cans) \/ 6.6 lbs \/ Lead time estimate: 3-6 months","offer_id":42043646279785,"sku":"YMG03wcan-030x100","price":450000.0,"currency_code":"JPY","in_stock":true},{"title":"2026 harvest \/ 250g \/ 8.8 oz \/ Silver Stand-up Resealable Bag","offer_id":41845021573225,"sku":"YMG03w-250","price":36000.0,"currency_code":"JPY","in_stock":true},{"title":"2026 harvest \/ MULTIPACK 1kg (250g x 4 Resealable bags) \/ 2.2 lbs","offer_id":42104633098345,"sku":"YMG03w-250x4","price":140000.0,"currency_code":"JPY","in_stock":true},{"title":"2026 harvest \/ 1kg \/ 2.2 lbs \/ Resealable stand bag","offer_id":42639940911209,"sku":"YMG03w-1kg","price":139600.0,"currency_code":"JPY","in_stock":true},{"title":"**2025 harvest \/ MULTIPACK 1.5kg (30g x 50 refill bags) \/ 3.3 lbs","offer_id":42225303814249,"sku":"YMG03w-030x50","price":172000.0,"currency_code":"JPY","in_stock":true},{"title":"**2025 harvest \/ MULTIPACK 12.5kg (250g x 50 Resealable bags) \/ 27.6 lbs","offer_id":42970937229417,"sku":"YMG03w-250x50","price":960000.0,"currency_code":"JPY","in_stock":true},{"title":"2026 harvest \/ MULTIPACK 12.5kg (250g x 50 Resealable bags) \/ 27.6 lbs","offer_id":47853081854057,"sku":"YMG03w-250x50-y26","price":1440000.0,"currency_code":"JPY","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0926\/4578\/files\/WHOLESALE_Yunomi_Matcha_Naturally_Grown_-_Kodama_-_Standard_Ceremonial_Grade_yumenet.live.jpg?v=1765939123"},{"product_id":"nishide-uji-matcha-chiyo-mukashi","title":"#0802.K6 Nishide: Uji Matcha Chiyo Mukashi 千代昔 宇治抹茶, Stone mill ground, Standard Ceremonial Grade 40g","description":"\u003cdiv\u003e\n\u003ch2 class=\"Polaris-Header-Title\"\u003eProduct info\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eName\u003c\/strong\u003e: Uji Matcha Chiyo Mukashi\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eJapanese name\u003c\/strong\u003e: 千代昔 宇治抹茶\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eIngredients\u003c\/strong\u003e: green tea\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eNet weight\u003c\/strong\u003e: 40 grams\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eHarvest\u003c\/strong\u003e: May-June depending on the year\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eNotes\u003c\/strong\u003e: Direct shading for 3-4 weeks.

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. This avoids condensation from damaging the matcha powder.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\u003ch2\u003eHow much does 30 grams of matcha make?\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eIt depends on how thick you make your matcha and how much you make, but if you use 1 gram (about 1\/3 teaspoon) to make a 100 ml cup, that's 30 cups of matcha!\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch2\u003eDid you know matcha is best when it's freshly ground?\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eHow good your matcha is depends of course on the quality of the underlying leaf. 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, and most 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 year will be more mellow and 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.Tea","offers":[{"title":"30g \/ 1 oz \/ Refill Bag in Gift Can and Box","offer_id":32668212887657,"sku":"YMC03-030","price":5000.0,"currency_code":"JPY","in_stock":true},{"title":"MULTIPACK 300g (30g x 10 refill bags) \/ 10.6 oz","offer_id":28482823061609,"sku":"YMC03-030x10","price":40000.0,"currency_code":"JPY","in_stock":true},{"title":"250g \/ 8.8 oz \/ Silver Stand-up Resealable Bag","offer_id":41093765103721,"sku":"YMC03-250","price":40000.0,"currency_code":"JPY","in_stock":true},{"title":"MULTIPACK 1kg (250g x 4 Resealable bags) \/ 2.2 lbs","offer_id":39967429165161,"sku":"YMC03-250x4","price":156000.0,"currency_code":"JPY","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0926\/4578\/files\/yunomi.matcha_Standard_Ceremonial_Grade.jpg?v=1753922854"},{"product_id":"furuichi-seicha-satsumakaori-sencha-green-tea","title":"#0294.K2 : 2026 Furuichi Seicha: #06 Satsumakaori Sencha Green Tea G05 さつまかおり","description":"\u003ch2 style=\"clear: both;\"\u003eProduct Info\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eName\u003c\/strong\u003e: Satsumakaori Sencha Green tea\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eJapanese Name\u003c\/strong\u003e: さつまかおり　煎茶\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eIngredients\u003c\/strong\u003e: green tea\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eRegion\u003c\/strong\u003e: Kagoshima Prefecture\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\u003ch2 style=\"clear: both;\"\u003eSupplier Info\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eName\u003c\/strong\u003e: Furuichi Seicha\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eLocation\u003c\/strong\u003e: 1296-1 \u003ca href=\"http:\/\/goo.gl\/maps\/MwLur\"\u003eKawanabecho Nagata, Minamikyushu, Kagoshima\u003c\/a\u003e, 897-0222 JAPAN\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e","brand":"Furuichi Seicha","offers":[{"title":"[2026] 10 g \/ 0.35 oz \/ May","offer_id":43133641490537,"sku":"fri-G05-010-y26","price":430.0,"currency_code":"JPY","in_stock":false},{"title":"[2026] 100g \/ 3.5 oz \/ May","offer_id":17177944133,"sku":"fri-G05-100-y26","price":2600.0,"currency_code":"JPY","in_stock":true},{"title":"[2026] MULTIPACK 1kg (100g x 10 bags) \/ 2.2 lbs","offer_id":41616544661609,"sku":"fri-G05-100x10-y26","price":19800.0,"currency_code":"JPY","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0926\/4578\/products\/furuichi-seicha-06-satsumakaori-sencha-green-tea-g05-524286.jpg?v=1663992798"},{"product_id":"shogyokuen-premium-gyokuro-fuji-no-tsuyu","title":"#0629.K6 Shogyokuen: Premium Gyokuro, Fuji no Tsuyu 富士の露","description":"\u003cp\u003eAn ambrosia of umami flavor recalling the mists of Mt.

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, and most 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 year will be more mellow and 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\n\u003cp\u003e \u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cspan data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003eMost items though are procured every month—high turnover means fresh matcha!  \u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\u003c\/ul\u003e","brand":"Yunomi.Tea","offers":[{"title":"4g \/ 0.14 oz \/ yumenet.live Sample Bag","offer_id":47830425370729,"sku":"YMC01-004","price":1500.0,"currency_code":"JPY","in_stock":true},{"title":"30g \/ 1 oz \/ Refill bag in Gift Can \u0026 Box","offer_id":41949970694249,"sku":"YMC01-030can","price":10000.0,"currency_code":"JPY","in_stock":true},{"title":"MULTIPACK 300g (30g x 10 refill bags) \/ 10.6 oz","offer_id":28980238789,"sku":"YMC01-030x10","price":80000.0,"currency_code":"JPY","in_stock":true},{"title":"250g \/ 8.8 oz \/ Resealable bag","offer_id":42950347915369,"sku":"YMC01-250","price":62000.0,"currency_code":"JPY","in_stock":true},{"title":"MULTIPACK 1kg (250g x 4 Resealable bags) \/ 2.2 lbs","offer_id":40152948015209,"sku":"YMC01-250x4","price":240000.0,"currency_code":"JPY","in_stock":true},{"title":"MULTIPACK 4kg (1kg x 4 bags) \/ 8.8 lbs","offer_id":40698842349673,"sku":"YMC01-1kgx4","price":950000.0,"currency_code":"JPY","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0926\/4578\/products\/yunomi-matcha-uji-no-aji-kibune-imperial-ceremonial-grade-30g-124224.jpg?v=1765862929"},{"product_id":"yunomi-house-blend-green-tea","title":"#0755.TX Yunomi House Blend Green Tea - Mainichi","description":"\u003cp\u003eThree levels of Japanese green tea - steamed, rolled, and dried leaf presented in a subtle range of green tea flavors.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cem\u003ePackaging and tea flavor profile may vary from production to production, and may not match the photos seen here.\u003c\/em\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cem\u003eWe utilize this product to practice appraising and blending leaves in small 1-2 kg production lots.

However, producers buy many different production lots from many different farmers.

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 year will be more mellow and perfect for balancing the fresh leaf.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eMatcha however does get old quickly after grinding.

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, and most 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\u003cspan\u003e \u003c\/span\u003ehave aged over the past year will be more mellow and 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\n\u003cp\u003e \u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Yunomi.Wholesale","offers":[{"title":"MULTIPACK 2.4kg 80x 30g 2025 harvest","offer_id":47890118017129,"sku":"YMG04w-030x50","price":416000.0,"currency_code":"JPY","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0926\/4578\/files\/IMG_2593.jpg?v=1749646861"}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0926\/4578\/collections\/subscribe_and_save_banner_yumenet.live.png?v=1766630788","url":"https:\/\/yumenet.live\/collections\/subscriptions.oembed?page=2","provider":"yumenet.live","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
