Discover The Master’s Collection

Naoki Matcha Chiran Harvest is designed for tea lovers who value precision, aroma, and a refined texture. As part of The Master’s Collection, this ceremonial grade matcha is crafted by trusted tea artisans from Japan, combining heritage with contemporary quality control. The blend highlights the distinct personality of Chiran in Kagoshima, delivering a vibrant emerald hue, a fresh fragrance, and a mellow, nutty finish that invites careful tasting and thoughtful preparation.

The Chiran Harvest uses the Seimei cultivar, a relatively new selection registered in 2017. It’s celebrated for its bright green color, pronounced aroma, and a smooth, approachable flavor profile. In traditional usucha, the powder froths into a creamy, light foam that complements subtle sweetness and a delicate aftertaste without bitterness, making it suitable for those exploring premium ceremonial experiences at home.
