Guide to matchin’ matcha: CHERRY BLOSSOM, CULTIVAR BLEND, SINGLE ORIGIN

In matchin’, every matcha is ceremonial, because it comes from the first harvest – the most refined moment of the season. These are leaves selected with exceptional care, intended to be enjoyed “neat”, not merely used as a dessert ingredient.

The three expressions of matchin’ – Cherry Blossom, Cultivar Blend and Single Origin – differ in character, but they share one thing: high quality, noticeable from the very first sip.

CEREMONIAL MATCHA

When it comes to matcha, the term “ceremonial” is not an empty slogan but a statement of quality standards, even if many brands overuse it for marketing purposes.

  • the leaves are picked from the first harvest, when the tea bushes produce their most delicate, finest shoots, from renowned farms in Japan

  • the harvest focuses on young leaves with a high content of amino acids and natural sweetness

  • matcha of this standard is created to be enjoyed “neat”, not for baking

Each of the three – Cherry Blossom, Cultivar Blend and Single Origin – comes from this very first harvest. That’s why all of them can proudly be called ceremonial, even though each one leads us down a different path – from dessert-like sensuality, through creamy balance, to the refined minimalism of single origin.

CHERRY BLOSSOM MATCHA

Floral, delicate, made to drink with milk

Cherry Blossom is a ceremonial first-harvest matcha enriched with natural cherry blossom. Subtle, sensual, with a profile that is:

  • floral

  • gently sweet

  • exceptionally approachable, even for those who are just discovering matcha

Who is it for?

For those who love matcha lattes and aesthetically pleasing, light, easy-to-enjoy drinks. It’s the perfect choice for a first encounter with matcha.

Best use:

  • iced or hot matcha latte

  • an afternoon “dessert drink” when you want something instead of yet another coffee

 

CULTIVAR BLEND MATCHA

A creamy classic, ideal both for ritual and latte

Cultivar Blend is a blend of several carefully selected cultivars from the first harvest. The result is exceptionally harmonious:

  • creamy texture

  • nutty and umami notes

  • no bitterness

This is a matcha that works beautifully both in traditional preparation (usucha) and in matcha latte.


Who is it for?

For those who want one versatile matcha – for a morning ritual, an afternoon latte and more ceremonial moments alike.

Best use:

  • morning usucha served hot or over ice

  • latte for those who expect more from their drink than just sweetness

 

SINGLE ORIGIN MATCHA

Single origin, single cultivar – the connoisseur’s choice

Single Origin is a ceremonial first-harvest matcha from a single region and a single specific cultivar. It’s the most “purist” expression of matcha in the range:

  • deep umami

  • elegant, natural sweetness

  • a clearly defined, refined character

Who is it for?

For those who treat matcha like a tasting experience rather than just a source of caffeine. For flavour aesthetes who want to feel the difference between a blend and a single origin.


Best use:

  • pure matcha (usucha) – completely without milk

  • a more refined latte in which the terroir is still noticeable, not just the milky base

SUMMARY

  • You prefer delicacy and floral notes → Cherry Blossom

    ideal for matcha latte lovers and a gentle entry into the world of ceremony.

  • You need a universal, luxurious classic → Cultivar Blend

    works both for ritual and for latte.

  • You are looking for the most refined, “pure” experience → Single Origin

    the choice for connoisseurs who celebrate every sip.

 

Three distinct personalities, one common denominator: ceremonial, first-harvest quality, captured in a form that can turn an everyday moment into something truly special.
