Aicha Golden Ceremonial Matcha 30g – Early-Picked First Flush Uji, Usucha Grade to Taste Pure Matcha: Rich Umami, Gentle Sweetness, Low Bitterness, Also a Premium Matcha Latte

There is matcha, and then there is Aicha Golden Grade. Grown in the mist-covered hills of Uji — the birthplace of Japan's matcha tradition — this is a rare, small-batch ceremonial-grade matcha made from first flush leaves, picked only once each spring. That single early harvest is what gives it a deep jade colour, a naturally sweet aroma and a smooth, rounded umami finish with none of the bitterness of everyday matcha.

Whisk it traditionally with hot water for a clean, silky usucha, or pour it over cold milk for a matcha latte that holds its colour and character. Each 30g pack yields roughly 15 servings, so a daily cup lasts about two weeks.

Aicha sources directly from Japan's most celebrated tea gardens and flies each batch in fresh, so what reaches your cup is as close to the garden as it gets.

• Ceremonial grade from Uji, Japan — sourced directly from the region widely regarded as the home of Japan's finest matcha.
• First flush harvest — made from leaves picked only once each spring, the single harvest that gives matcha its deep jade colour and natural sweetness.
• Smooth, not bitter — a rounded umami finish that drinks clean on its own, with none of the harsh edge of culinary-grade powder.
• Roughly 15 servings per 30g pack — enough for a daily cup for about two weeks.
• Whisk hot or pour cold — traditional usucha with hot water, or a matcha latte that keeps its colour over milk and ice.
