What Makes Our Itsumo Matcha (抹茶) Special? Our Classic Grade (Jokyu 上級) is made from young first-harvest leaves that are quickly steamed, dried, and blended to produce high-quality Tencha. It comes from the Okumidori and Yabukita cultivars, two of the most prized varieties in Japan, known for their freshness, smoothness, and vibrant green color. The result is a well-balanced matcha full of character. Additionally, it is 100% natural and free of additives.
