Kitchen Culinary
Region: Aichi Prefecture
Harvest: Second Flush, slight more mature leaves
Taste Profile: Strong and bold, slightly astringent finish
Color: Deeper hues of green
This is a great blend for using in the kitchen. It is our most economical blend that still meets our standard of quality which means it has a nice green color and a robust, yet not too astringent flavor profile. Unlike low-quality culinary matcha that is commonly found on store shelves (or Amazon), our Kitchen culinary matcha is made from young leaves found slightly lower on the plant, so its flavor is stronger which allows it to come through when mixed with other ingredients.

Storage
As matcha is a very delicate, stone-ground powder, proper storage is important to optimize its freshness and quality.
- Matcha is ideally stored in the refrigerator or freezer. If not available, store in a cool, dry place away from direct light.
- Store tightly sealed in the original packaging.
- We recommend that you use your matcha within 60-days after opening when properly stored.
