About the Product

Discover a more thoughtful approach to your daily tea ritual with Ichigo Matcha from Isshiki, a first-harvest Japanese green tea blend inspired by the philosophy of ichigo ichie — the recognition that every moment is unique and will never occur in quite the same way again.

Sourced from Uji, Japan, this carefully selected Okumidori blend offers a beautifully balanced drinking experience characterized by natural sweetness, gentle umami and a pronounced green tea aroma. Its smooth finish and minimal bitterness make it particularly enjoyable when prepared traditionally with water, allowing the subtle qualities of the tea to take centre stage.

Unlike single-cultivar matcha, which focuses on the character of one tea variety, Isshiki's Ichigo Matcha is presented as a blend with a flavour profile that may vary subtly between releases. This individuality is central to the product's philosophy: rather than seeking an identical experience every time, Ichigo encourages an appreciation of the small differences that make each moment distinct.

The fine green tea powder can be whisked into warm water for a traditional bowl of matcha, prepared over ice for a refreshing alternative, or combined with your preferred milk for a smooth matcha latte. Its naturally sweet, aromatic character makes it versatile enough for everyday enjoyment while retaining the distinctive qualities of Japanese matcha.

Presented in a 30g tin providing approximately 20–30 servings, Isshiki Ichigo Matcha brings together Japanese tea craftsmanship, mindful preparation and a philosophy that extends well beyond the cup.

Traditional Matcha Preparation

  2. Add 70ml of hot water at approximately 170°F (77°C).
  3. Whisk vigorously using a bamboo matcha whisk (chasen), moving in a quick zigzag pattern for approximately 15–20 seconds until the tea is evenly dispersed and a fine foam develops.
  4. Enjoy immediately, appreciating the matcha's naturally sweet aroma, gentle umami and smooth finish.

Iced Matcha

Prepare the matcha using the method above, then pour over ice and add chilled water to taste.

Matcha Latte

Whisk the matcha with a small amount of warm water, then combine with your preferred warmed or chilled milk or plant-based alternative.

Storage: Refrigerate after opening and enjoy within six months, following Isshiki's instructions. Keep the tin tightly sealed to protect the powder from moisture and unwanted odours.

Ichigo Ichie — The Beauty of a Single Moment

The Japanese expression ichigo ichie reminds us that no moment can be experienced in exactly the same way twice. Often associated with Japanese tea culture, the philosophy encourages us to approach even familiar encounters with attention, gratitude and an appreciation for their uniqueness.

Isshiki's Ichigo Matcha takes inspiration from this idea. Made from a first-harvest Okumidori blend grown in Uji, Japan, it offers a naturally sweet, aromatic flavour with gentle umami and very little bitterness. The character of each release may shift subtly, reflecting the natural variation that exists within carefully produced agricultural ingredients.

There is something particularly fitting about connecting this philosophy to the preparation of tea. Measuring the matcha, heating the water and whisking the powder into a smooth, vibrant drink creates an opportunity to slow down and experience a familiar activity with renewed attention. Rather than rushing through another daily habit, Ichigo invites us to appreciate the moment as it unfolds.
