However, producers buy many different production lots from many different farmers. Their skill, the reason why we call them master blenders, is in blending the leaves prior to grinding to create a specific profile in terms of powder color, powder aroma, grain size,matcha color, andmost importantly the flavor of the matcha.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eWhile the harvest season can make a big difference in quality since larger autumn leaves will be more bitter and more difficult to grind into fine powder, the harvest year is not necessarily important particularly right after the spring harvest (May - August). At this time, leaves may actually be too fresh to make good matcha--their flavor may create matcha that is very strong in umami but also too bitter.Meanwhile, leaves that have aged over the past yearwillbemore mellowand perfect for balancing the fresh leaf.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eMatcha however does get old quickly after grinding. In 6 months after grinding the color will fade, and the aroma will disappear. After 9 months, the strength of the flavor will also fade.As a result, higher grade matcha tends to have a best by date of 3-6 months, while lower grade matcha has a best by date of 12 months in Japan. Western brands often have a 18-24 month shelf life though.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eAs a rule, we do our best to ensure that the Yunomi branded matcha is never older the 6 months from grinding, and that matcha other brands are never older than 6 months from procurement.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Yunomi.Wholesale","offers":[{"title":"YUNOMI BRAND: 30g \/ 1 oz \/ Refill Bag in Gift Can and box","offer_id":31867031355497,"sku":"YMG05w-030","price":4000.0,"currency_code":"JPY","in_stock":false},{"title":"YUNOMI BRAND: Case of 300g (30g x 10 gift cans and boxes) \/ 10.6 oz","offer_id":42566649872489,"sku":"YMG05w-030x10-case","price":38000.0,"currency_code":"JPY","in_stock":false},{"title":"YUNOMI BRAND: 250g \/ 8.8 oz \/ Silver Stand-up Resealable Bag","offer_id":40241568153705,"sku":"YMG05w-250","price":18000.0,"currency_code":"JPY","in_stock":false},{"title":"MULTIPACK 300g (30g x 10 unbranded refill bags) \/ 10.6 oz","offer_id":39373938229353,"sku":"YMG05w-030x10","price":26000.0,"currency_code":"JPY","in_stock":false},{"title":"MULTIPACK 1kg (100g x 10 unbranded resealable bags) \/ 2.2 lbs","offer_id":42221623279721,"sku":"YMG05w-100x10","price":66000.0,"currency_code":"JPY","in_stock":false},{"title":"MULTIPACK 1kg (250g x 4 unbranded resealable bags) \/ 2.2 lbs","offer_id":40530107957353,"sku":"YMG05w-250x4","price":66000.0,"currency_code":"JPY","in_stock":false},{"title":"MULTIPACK 1kg (500g x 2 unbranded resealable bags) \/ 2.2 lbs","offer_id":42863648669801,"sku":"YMG05w-500x2","price":66000.0,"currency_code":"JPY","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0926\/4578\/files\/matcha-naruto-barista-grade.jpg?v=1749176610"},{"product_id":"obubu-matcha-gokou-cultivar-25g","title":"#0026.K6 Obubu Matcha: 2025 Gokou Cultivar from Wazuka, Kyoto Matcha","description":"\u003cp\u003e\u003cmeta charset=\"UTF-8\"\u003eThe gokou variety (\u003ca href=\"https:\/\/yunomi-jp.pro\/pages\/list-of-japanese-tea-cultivars\"\u003ecultivar\u003c\/a\u003e) of tea plant was developed especially for the climate and soil of the Kyoto region (it is unregistered but pretty common in Kyoto prefecture) and produces a matcha that is creamier in comparison to your typical \u003ca href=\"https:\/\/yunomi-jp.pro\/collections\/ceremonial-grade-matcha\"\u003ematcha\u003c\/a\u003e.

Luckily I did not notice the teabag itself adding any aroma to the tea, it is always so annoying when I can smell bag.\n\u003cp\u003eThe taste is at first that of kelp giving it an umami quality that is quite appealing, especially as it fades to a fresh grass sweetness in the aftertastes. Of course there is a midtaste in between, and it is a blend of spinach and kale, but without the bitter quality that kale has when raw. This tea is quite good for bagged tea and is, of course, the quality I expect from yunomi-jp.pro.
