Birthday Bundle
The Birthday Bundle is an archive-worthy collection of four premium matchas, bringing together single-cultivar and signature-blend expressions from Japan's most revered tea terroirs.
Designed as a collectible set, it spans the full range of matcha across cultivar, craft and origin, uniting rarity, heritage and modern expression in one celebratory collection.
The single-cultivar selection features Ujihikari and Saemidori, each a pure, unblended expression shaped by its cultivar and how it is grown and made. Ujihikari, a rare Uji-bred cultivar, opens with refreshing young-leaf aromas and elegant notes of nori. It then turns smooth and creamy, layering rich umami and natural sweetness with subtle hints of pistachio and roasted almond before a remarkably clean finish. Prepared as koicha or usucha, it rewards slow, attentive drinking. Saemidori comes from Azuma Tea Garden, a family farm in Wazuka, Kyoto, growing tea without pesticides or herbicides since 1868. Dried in a traditional brick tencha furnace, it carries a distinctive toasted roko aroma and a roasted, nutty character, with vivid green colour, velvety umami, soft sweetness and a clean finish.
The signature blends, Kiwami and Izumi, represent the art of the master blender: matchas composed for character, consistency and everyday brilliance. Kiwami is bold and bright, a fresh, vivid green with a clean, matcha-forward character rounded by natural sweetness and a quiet depth of umami. It holds its full flavour whether whisked with water or poured over milk. Izumi is a blend of four cultivars (Gokou, Okumidori, Samidori and Tsuyuhikari) composed for premium lattes and usucha. It is fragrant and full-bodied, generously sweet, with gentle umami and almost no astringency or bitterness.
Together, they form a complete journey, rare, refined and deeply expressive, created for those who seek to collect, compare and experience matcha at its fullest.
