Learn all the secrets of the Chanoka Yabukita Matcha

The Chanoka Yabukita Matcha is a premium matcha made by Mr. Takada in Uji. This tea produces a strong savory flavor and a hint of delicious acidity

Taste

Discover the results of Nio Teasā€™ 4 step tea tasting method

To evaluate the Chanoka Yabukita Matcha, we evaluated the texture of the matcha as well as the flavor. Does it produce a dryness, sweetness, minerality or acidity? Weā€™ll also evaluate how thick or rich the consistency of the matcha is, otherwise known as mouthfeel. Finally, for matcha specifically, we like to take a look at the vegetal flavor of the tea, as this is a profile consistent across all types of matcha.

Step 1 - Observing the Appearance

The color of this matcha is a slightly pale green with more of a lighter color

Step 2 - Assessing the Aroma

The aroma coming off the powder as it is mixed into the water is savory with a hint of sweet spice

Step 3 - Tasting the Tea

This matcha begins with a smooth sweetness that later transitions to a strong savory flavor profile on the mid palate. Then, a hint of acidity starts to kick in to quench the palate before finishing with a slightly dry sweetness.

Step 4 - Evaluating the sensation on the palate

This matcha has a combination of dryness and acidity that invigorates the palate, as well as a powerful umami that adds depth and character to the structure.

masuda tea farm in japan

Location of production and farmer

Information about the farm

The Chanoka Yabukita matcha is supplied by Takada Masahiro, a Uji-based farmer who runs Chanoka, a family business with a long history of producing high-quality teas. The Chanoka legacy dates back to 1900 when Masahiro's great-grandfather established their first tea garden in Uji, and the family has been dedicated to cultivating and manufacturing exceptional teas ever since.

Sourced in Uji

Japan

The Chanoka Yabukita matcha is produced in Uji. Uji is arguably the most famous region for Japanese green tea production. This specific green tea is cultivated on Mr. Chanoka's tea farm, and it is grown at an altitude of 400 meters. The yabukita matcha is shaded for 3 weeks before the harvest in order to develop a nice sweet and savory flavor.

Cultivar and tea plant variety

As the name would suggest, the Chanoka Yabukita matcha is made using the Yabukita cultivar, the most popular tea plant variety in Japan.

  • Yabukita

    Yabukita has become by far the most popular tea plant variety produced in Japan, making up close to 75% of the total production. One reason this tea cultivar has become so popular is because it is resistant to frost, so it can survive the relatively cold winters of Central Japan. The tea also produces a strong savory and vegetal flavor, which is well-liked by fans of Japanese green tea.
