Ocha & Co. Itsumo Matcha Classic Grade - First-Harvest Japanese Matcha Powder 100g

Discover Itsumo Matcha - Classic Grade

Ocha & Co. presents Itsumo, a classic grade Japanese matcha powder crafted from shade-grown leaves picked young at the peak of harvest. Each batch is stone-milled using a traditional grindstone, preserving a bright emerald color and a finely ground texture that dissolves smoothly in hot water or milk. The result is a cup that feels both lively and balanced, with a gentle sweetness that lingers without harsh bitterness.

Our first-harvest approach captures a clean, fresh profile, often described as crisp and vegetal, with a quiet depth that can complement milk or stand on its own. The tea is grown on some of Japan's highest plantations, where cool mornings and misty afternoons contribute to nuanced flavor and aroma. The environment matters, and Itsumo reflects that sense of place in every whisk.
