The First Harvest 2026
Be the first to experience the 2026 First Harvest
The First Harvest 2026, freshly crafted to capture its most vibrant expression.
A pre-order window for our top two ceremonial grades—crafted from the earliest harvest of the season.
Carefully shade-grown from the very first flush of the year in Yame, Fukuoka. This exceptional harvest captures a refined balance of umami and natural sweetness.
Rooted in Yame: The Valley of Mist Grown in the misty, mountainous region of Yame, our matcha benefits from dense morning fogs and pure river waters. This unique microclimate naturally shields the tea leaves from harsh sunlight, forcing them to produce extraordinary amounts of chlorophyll and L-theanine. The result? A remarkably vibrant green hue and a profoundly sweet, umami-rich flavor that is exceptionally refined.
Pre-Order Details Available for dispatch in late May. Experience the cornerstone of our collection as we prepare for the celebrated first harvest this May, bringing you an even wider selection of Yame’s finest ceremonial matcha.
Please note: As this is a fresh harvest straight from Japan, exact shipping dates may vary slightly to ensure the matcha reaches you in perfect condition.
