Limited Fall Offering

Embrace the richness of autumn with Ceremonial Matcha Tsubokiri (Koicha Grade)—a rare, ultra-smooth matcha, harvested in spring and refined throughout the months. Available exclusively for one month each fall, this limited-edition offering is renowned for its delicate complexity, providing a tasting experience unlike any other.

Tsubokiri, meaning "Out of the Pot," honors a centuries-old tradition of harvesting tencha leaves in spring, allowing them to breathe through the cooler months. In autumn, the leaves are stone-ground, unveiling an exceptionally smooth, creamy texture with minimal tannic notes. The result is a matcha with a subtle sweetness and a lightly toasted aroma—perfectly balanced for a refined experience.

Whether you prefer usucha (thin tea) for a light, refreshing sip, or koicha (thick tea) for a rich, concentrated experience, each cup reflects over 300 years of matcha craftsmanship. Expertly crafted by Marukyu Koyamaen, a distinguished family-run tea farm in Uji, Kyoto, this matcha embodies the timeless artistry of Japanese tea making.

Hurry—this rare matcha is only available once a year. Once it’s gone, it won’t return until next fall.
