Have Matcha, the Haiku Way
俳句富士やま抹茶
Premium Culinary Grade
Introducing the third and highest graded special edition Matcha from our Mt. Fuji Select range. Newly released this autumn, grown and cultivated from the foothills of Mt. Fuji, known for its deep, umami filled flavour and brillaint green, nutured from volcanic soil and the freshest mountain water from Fuji itself. Our premium and specialty Fuji Yama Matcha features an elegant flavour profile that includes balance of bitter and sweet, satisfying umami, and a sharp, refreshing lift. The Fuji Yama (meaning Fuji mountain) is special, crafted from tea leaves harvested during the season's first pick, distinguised by its vibrant green colour and delicate astringency.
The Fuji Yama Story
Fuji Yama Matcha is made from 50% Yabukita tea leaves, a Shizuoka prefecture original cultivar and 50% superior Okumidori leaves. Yabukita, known for its balance and its versatility, it features a mix of umami, sweetness, light astringency and is considered the benchmark of Japanese tea quality. Fuji Yama Matcha is cleaner, smoother, with rich umami notes and a mellow flavour profile. Subtle fruitiness and deep vibrant green make this the premium drink for the matcha enthusiast.

We should mention the various health benefits that come with the taste, packed with antioxidants, vitamins and minerals, your immune system will thank you. Enjoy boosted energy levels and a sense of calm and focus.
Colour and Texture
Vibrant colour equals vibrant taste which is our philosophy in choosing and preparing this matcha for Australia. We ensure our producer uses only the youngest leaves coupled with longer periods of shading, to deliver sweetness over astringency. Haiku Matcha is produced using the jet milling process for finer powder for finer cups of tea.
Freshness
Our Matcha, alongside with our Hojicha and Genmaicha Powders are air freighted in from Japan at peak freshness. We rely directly on tea farmers, rather than trading companies, paying our producers the right price for the right quality.
Sustainability
Committed to ethical and sustainable practices, our matcha is grown responsibly, free of radiation, heavy metals, pesticides and bacteria.
