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, and most 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\u003cspan\u003e \u003c\/span\u003ehave aged over the past year will be more mellow and 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\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Shogyokuen Tea Factory","offers":[{"title":"4g \/ 0.14 oz \/ Sample","offer_id":47877745967209,"sku":"shg-M150sa-004","price":8.31,"currency_code":"AUD","in_stock":true},{"title":"30g \/ 1 oz \/ Matte white yunomi-jp.pro pull-top can + Gift Box","offer_id":47877745737833,"sku":"shg-M150saCn-030","price":48.94,"currency_code":"AUD","in_stock":true},{"title":"30g \/ 1 oz \/ Refill bag in Resealable bag","offer_id":47877745934441,"sku":"shg-M150saBg-030","price":45.98,"currency_code":"AUD","in_stock":true},{"title":"1kg \/ 2.2 lbs","offer_id":47877745770601,"sku":"shg-M150sa-1kg","price":1015.65,"currency_code":"AUD","in_stock":true},{"title":"MULTIPACK 300g (30g x 10 cans) \/ 10.6 oz \/ Matte white unbranded pull-top can","offer_id":47877745803369,"sku":"shg-M150saCn-030x10","price":415.49,"currency_code":"AUD","in_stock":false},{"title":"MULTIPACK 300g (30g x 10 refill bags) \/ 10.6 oz","offer_id":47877745836137,"sku":"shg-M150saBg-030x10","price":369.33,"currency_code":"AUD","in_stock":true},{"title":"MULTIPACK 3kg ( 30g x 100 refill bags) \/ 6.6 lbs","offer_id":47877745868905,"sku":"shg-M150saBg-030x100","price":3231.62,"currency_code":"AUD","in_stock":false},{"title":"MULTIPACK 10kg (1kg x 10 bags) \/ 22 lbs","offer_id":47877745901673,"sku":"shg-M150sa-1kgx10","price":9233.19,"currency_code":"AUD","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0926\/4578\/files\/shogyokuen-kobayashi-yuu.jpg?v=1613525351","url":"https:\/\/yunomi-jp.pro\/en-au\/products\/0879-satori-kagoshima-saemidori-modern-matcha-stone-milled-by-shogyokuen","provider":"yunomi-jp.pro","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
