Is this matcha suitable for lattes?
Yes. Kirari’s vivid color and rich flavor remain strong with milk, making it excellent for premium matcha lattes — both hot and iced.
Is it also suitable for usucha?
Yes. While Kirari shines in premium lattes, it is also enjoyable as usucha with rich umami, gentle sweetness, and a clean finish.
Who should choose Kirari instead of Saemidori?
Choose Kirari if you want stronger color, aroma, and visual impact. Choose Saemidori if you prefer the smoothest, most balanced everyday matcha.
Is Kirari good for desserts?
Yes. It performs well in sweets because the aroma, vivid green color, and umami-forward taste stay present even when mixed with cream, butter, or sugar.
What is Kirari 31?
Kirari 31 is a Japanese tea cultivar developed from Sakimidori and Saemidori. It is known for vivid color, expressive aroma, and umami-forward sweetness.
How should I store matcha?
Keep cool and dry. Refrigerate after opening if possible. Avoid light, heat, humidity, and moisture. Reseal tightly after each use.
Why does matcha sometimes become clumpy?
High-quality matcha is stone-milled into an extremely fine powder. Fine particles are easily affected by static electricity and humidity. This is natural and does not indicate poor quality. We strongly recommend sifting before use.
How can I make a smoother cup?
Sift your matcha before adding water or milk. This removes any clumps and helps create a smoother, creamier texture every time.
Note: Matcha color and flavor may vary slightly by season and production lot. This is a natural characteristic of stone-milled tea.
