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":"uejima-tea-farm-uji-matcha-tempaku-imperial-ceremonial-grade","title":"#0704.K6 Uejima Tea Farm: Uji Matcha \"Tempaku\" (Uji Hikari\/Samidori) Imperial Ceremonial Grade Matcha 京都宇治和束茶 抹茶 天伯","description":"\u003cp\u003eTempaku 天伯 is the god of heaven, and fittingly, the name of Uejima Tea Farm's highest quality ceremonial grade matcha.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eComes in a sealed inner bag and a washi paper gift can (random design).\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch2\u003eProduct Info\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cul\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: 30g\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003ePackaging\u003c\/strong\u003e: bag inside Washi paper storage can, random design (if cans are not available we will use our standard white cans)\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eCultivar\u003c\/strong\u003e: Uji Hikari, Samidori\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eHarvest\u003c\/strong\u003e: Spring\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eRegion\u003c\/strong\u003e: Kyotanabe, Kyoto Prefecture\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\u003cdiv style=\"display: flex; flex-direction: row; margin-bottom: 14px; align-items: center;\"\u003e\n\u003cdiv\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cdiv style=\"margin-left: 8px;\"\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003ch2\u003eAbout Tea Farmer: Noriyasu Uejima\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eNoriyasu Uejima is a tea master.
