Kagoshima, Japan

rich. floral. emerald.

Vivid emerald green, round umami, the lowest bitterness — engineered for the perfect latte.

Product details

Camellia is named for the plant itself — Camellia sinennsis, the small evergreen behind every cup of tea in the world. We chose it because this matcha is the most honest expression of what milk-based matcha drinks should taste like: real tea, not green syrup.

Stone-milled from second-harvest Kagoshima leaves, camellia delights with its vivid emerald green and rich aroma. It offers a round umami, the lowest bitterness of any grade in our collection, and a perfect balance. whisk it for a beautifully clean Usucha, or steam it into a latte where the color holds and the flavor doesn't fade behind milk. this is the matcha real baristas reach for when no one's watching.

Region story

KAGOSHIMA, JAPAN

鹿児島県

Kagoshima sits at the southern tip of Kyushu, where volcanic soil and warm subtropical sun create some of Japan's most vivid green tea. unlike the misty, mountainous fields of Kyoto, Kagoshima's tea grows in wider plains with longer sun exposure — producing leaves with a brighter colour, a softer body, and a clean profile that works exceptionally well in milk. the region has quietly become japan's second-largest tea producer, and its matcha is the secret behind some of the best lattes in Tokyo and Seoul.
