Product Description

Supreme is your first step into Uji, the traditional home of matcha. It comes from the same Uji-area gardens as our ceremonial Jobetsugi, picked in the second season, so the cup is lighter and more forgiving than a first-crop ceremonial. That makes it a natural first bowl, and an easy base for a latte, an iced matcha, or a smoothie. Stone-milled from Tencha to a fine, bright green powder, and priced so trying real Uji matcha is an easy decision.

Body Umami

Medium body; nice matcha, with some levels of mouth-filling umami

Research notes

Positioned explicitly as an entry-level/beginner product from the same gardens as the higher-grade Jobetsugi. Separately, a 'Supreme Matcha Starter Kit' with electric frother is sold ($19.95 for 3 tins = complimentary frother, per earlier search snippet, not independently verified on this fetch).
