Perfect for matcha lattes

Creamy matcha latte made with Hoshi-no-Tsumugi

Hoshi-no-Tsumugi’s gentle umami and low bitterness make it an ideal everyday latte matcha. The flavor stays balanced and pleasant with both hot and cold milk — not too strong, not too light.

How to enjoy

Sifting before preparation is always recommended — it removes clumps and creates a smoother, creamier result.

☕ Matcha latte

Sift 2–3g of matcha into your cup.
Add a small amount of warm water and whisk into a smooth paste.
Add milk or your preferred milk alternative.
Sweeten lightly if desired.

🍵 Usucha

Sift about 2g of matcha into your bowl.
Add 60–80ml of warm water (about 70–80°C).
Whisk in a zigzag motion until smooth and lightly foamy.

Why choose a 30g pack?

Matcha is sensitive to air, light, heat, and moisture. Once opened, freshness declines gradually. A 30g pack is easy to finish while aroma, color, and flavor are still at their best.

Who the 30g size is best for

First-time buyers trying premium matcha · Occasional matcha drinkers · Customers comparing different matcha · Anyone who values freshness over volume

After opening, keep tightly sealed and away from light, heat, and humidity — refrigerate if possible. Reseal tightly after each use.

About TSUJIRI CHAHO

TSUJIRI CHAHO is one of the tea houses carrying the Tsujiri name, with roots connected to the original Tsujiri tradition founded in 1860. Over time, several Tsujiri-related tea businesses developed independently through traditional family succession.

Today, each Tsujiri operates as a separate business rooted in its own region, continuing to offer Japanese tea with its own distinct character and local relationships. TSUJIRI CHAHO sources its matcha from Hoshino Village in Yame — an area celebrated for centuries of shaded tea cultivation.

Tea shops bearing the Tsujiri name operate as independent businesses across Japan, each with their own regional identity and tea philosophy.

FAQ

Is this matcha suitable for lattes?

Yes. Its smooth texture, gentle umami, and low bitterness make it especially well suited for creamy everyday matcha lattes — hot or iced.

Is it suitable for usucha?

Yes. While it shines in lattes, the calm umami and clean finish also make it enjoyable as traditional usucha. It is more approachable than ceremonial-grade matcha.

Is this a good first premium matcha?

Yes. The low bitterness and smooth profile make it one of the most approachable premium Yame matcha options — a good starting point for customers new to high-quality Japanese matcha.

Why 30g and not 100g?

Matcha loses freshness once opened. A 30g pack is easy to finish while aroma and flavor are at their best — ideal for first-time buyers, occasional drinkers, or customers exploring multiple matcha.

How should I store it?

Keep cool, dry, and away from light, heat, and moisture. Refrigerate after opening if possible. Reseal tightly after each use.

Why does matcha sometimes clump?

Stone-milled matcha is an extremely fine powder easily affected by humidity and static electricity. Small clumps are natural and do not indicate poor quality. Always sift before use for the best texture.
