Product Description

Our best matcha yet

For the serious matcha enthusiast, we’ve come up with a new range that demonstrates the incredible range and versatility of flavours that are possible with matcha tea. If you enjoy matcha in its unadulterated form as usucha, koicha or some variant of matcha tea, then this is for you.

Our Master’s Collection matcha is single estate origin and available in limited quantities each year. Whether it’s an incredible new flavour or just a bona fide top-of-the-line blend, we’re confident that each blend released into our Master’s Collection brings something new to the table.

How do we do this?

As our network grew in Japan, we came to know of tea growers pursuing innovation and improvement. They were starting to produce leaves that measured up to the best matcha Uji had to offer, yet were eager to experiment with new cultivars and techniques. So we linked them up with our tea blending experts and came up with a set of matcha blends that we knew would be appreciated by matcha lovers all around the world.

Introducing the Masters Collection

Select growers and tea estates

The leaves that eventually become our Masters Collection are patiently cultivated by smaller estates. They either grow the highest quality produce or are vigorously experimenting with new and exciting techniques.

Preserving tradition and finding new markets

These days, it is far more profitable to grow huge amounts of lower quality tea for use in bottled beverages and latte / smoothie mixes. Through the Master’s Collection, we hope to find an outlet for people to purchase and appreciate small batch, high quality matcha.

Created by tea masters, for your enjoyment

Our aim for the Master’s Collection is to create a range of high-end matcha for the matcha lovers. These are best enjoyed as matcha tea. We are confident that these offerings are as good, if not better than what is available from tea companies many many years older than us.

Chiran Harvest Matcha (Limited Stock for 2021 Harvest)

Produced using the Seimei cultivar, a new tea plant cultivar that has not yet entered commercial production

Chiran Harvest Matcha

✓ A Brand New Cultivar – In 2017, the regional cooperative were experimenting with creating different cultivars of the tea plant to further enhance the flavours in matcha. They ended up with a new cultivar they named Seimei. It’s known for its excellent green colour and signature aroma.
✓ A Unique Blend For The Matcha Connoisseurs – The Limited Edition Chiran Harvest looks great and smells great, but also tastes great. It has a very smooth, very creamy texture and interesting nutty malt flavours. Perfect when made into traditional matcha teas.
✓ Limited Quantities – Because the Seimei cultivar has not yet entered full-scale commercial production, quantity is limited and we sometimes run out of stock. Waiting times may vary depending on the month of the year. Only approximately 150 kg available each year.
✓ Proudly Made In Chiran, Kagoshima Prefecture – Once upon a time, Kagoshima tea was seen as cheap and low quality. This is no longer the case. In fact, many of them have adapted strongly to the regional climate and terroir to produce great matcha and teas that have begun to rival the best that places like Uji and Shizuoka have to offer.
