A matcha to celebrate our Kumiko story 

Shukusai (祝祭) in Japanese means celebration, festival. It describes a joyful and festive event. 
Shukusai organic matcha is therefore a celebratory matcha, perfect for sharing with loved ones or toasting a success. Because if, like me, you are a fan of matcha, the idea of raising a glass with this Shukusai matcha will delight you even more than champagne. 

Hidden details 

We created organic Shukusai matcha to mark Kumiko Matcha's 11th anniversary, to celebrate this milestone and thank you. We've slipped some of our favorite details into this exclusive design: 

• The label on the lid features motifs of the granite mills used to grind the tea leaves.
• The name of the matcha is written in kanji on the box.
• Elements are printed in a shiny silver colour. 
• A special note is written on the back of the box 😉

Tasting 

You can prepare matcha tea with 1 to 3 grams of powder for a "delicate" preparation (usucha in Japanese) by mixing the matcha powder in a bowl with 80mL of water at 80°C.

Or you can also try a "thick" preparation (koicha) to experience the full aroma of this organic Shukusai matcha with 3 to 5 grams of matcha for 20-30mL of hot water.

Shukusai organic matcha is a blend, meaning it is composed of different cultivars of green tea combined to create a unique, tailor-made flavor. In terms of taste and quality, Shukusai matcha falls between our flagship organic premium matcha tea and the ultra-premium organic matcha that many of you love. 

Its taste is rich, creamy, and umami.

It's the perfect compromise between an everyday matcha tea and a very special, luxurious matcha for occasions or weekends, to share, to give as a gift, or to enjoy alone in mindfulness.

A team project 

This year, 2024, marks an expansion of the Kumiko Matcha team. Thanks to you, our story, which I started alone, has been able to grow year after year, and I can now surround myself with other matcha tea enthusiasts and build a team with the brand's philosophy and values.

The visuals for the box, the graphics, and the name were imagined and chosen together. During brainstorming sessions, everyone exchanged their vision and opinion, and the visuals and colours were edited, replaced, and adjusted to arrive at this final result. A team effort 💪🏼

Excellent tastings 🍵🌟
