"Matcha Velvet 7" is a new, exclusive line of single origin, single cultivar shincha (new harvest) matcha from Yame, Fukuoka. This series is a rare opportunity to taste matcha from the famous Yame region in its most pristine state: freshly harvested, direct from the grower, and unblended.

Ooiwase is the richest and most complex matcha we have released in the Velvet 7 series thus far. It has both an intense pigment and an intense character. With rich, nutty notes and a weighty warmth it is very pleasing, both as a latte and usucha style – so we will encourage you to try it both ways!

Smell: toasted nori
Colour: grass green, intense pigment
Taste: richest, nutty, cashew, fava bean, dense

We Recommend

Whisk the matcha with hot water, then add cold milk (we prefer neutral oat milk with no added sugar or oils). This is the best temperature to taste matcha. No ice needed, as it dilutes the flavour. Enjoy!
