Blended matcha remains the nationwide tradition.
🍷 Just like wine — Burgundy is famous for single-varietal wines, while Bordeaux is known for masterful blends — each region has its own rules.
But when it comes to matcha, blending is the mainstream tradition across all regions in Japan 🌿
No single tea cultivar can deliver perfect color, aroma, and taste at the same time. That’s why Japanese tea masters carefully blend different varieties beforehand — so that every cup you drink brings maximum satisfaction and delight.
Of course, exploring single-varietal matcha is a wonderful way to discover each cultivar’s unique personality.
But if you simply want to enjoy the most delicious and balanced cup of matcha, a well-crafted blend is often the smartest (and most enjoyable) choice.
