TSUJIRI Matcha Decaf - First Harvest Japanese Matcha (30g) | Kyoto, 1860

Experience TSUJIRI Decaf Matcha

Rooted in the historic Uji valley and proudly crafted in Japan, TSUJIRI’s Decaf Matcha preserves the essence of authentic Japanese green tea while offering a gentler caffeine profile. Originally founded in 1860, the brand blends centuries of tea artistry with modern science to deliver a smooth, inviting cup that fits into busy days without compromising ritual or flavor.

During decaffeination, supercritical carbon dioxide helps reduce caffeine content while keeping key flavor components intact. The result is a cup that remains rich and flavorful, with the green tea character you expect from a first-harvest matcha. Expect a vibrant, slightly lighter hue compared to traditional matcha, a testament to the chlorophyll dynamics during processing.

Key benefits at a glance

• Decaf without losing depth: Caffeine is reduced from over 3% to just below 0.4%, while primary flavor compounds stay intact.
• Japanese craftsmanship end-to-end: From cultivation in Japan to tencha processing, decaffeination, and grinding, every step honors the brand’s heritage.
• Not caffeine-free: Each cup typically contains about 4–8 mg of caffeine (based on a 2 g serving).
• Color and aroma: Subtle color shifts reflect chlorophyll changes, accompanied by a gentle, grassy aroma.

Whether you’re savoring a quiet moment in the morning, crafting a creamy latte, or adding a sophisticated note to desserts, this decaf matcha opens a flexible space for daily rituals. The product is entirely Japanese in origin—from field to bowl—offering a connection to the country’s long-standing tea culture while accommodating caffeine sensitivity or personal preference.

How to enjoy TSUJIRI Decaf Matcha

• Traditional whisking: Sift 1–2 g into a bowl, add 60–100 ml hot water (70–80°C), whisk with a chasen until frothy.
• Latte or dessert pairing: Use as a base for latte, iced tea, or a creamy dessert topping for a balanced, nuanced flavor.
• Storage tips: Keep in a cool, dark place in an airtight container to preserve aroma and color.

Note the decaffeination process is a careful balance of taste and caffeine reduction. The result is a versatile matcha that invites experimenting with drinks, bowls, and baked goods while staying mindful of caffeine content per serving.
