Emerald Forest Kirishima Deluxe Matcha, organic

Emerald Forest Kirishima Deluxe Matcha – organic
The refined balance between everyday enjoyment and depth

Looking for a matcha that offers more than a gentle introduction, yet doesn’t demand full attention? Emerald Forest Kirishima Deluxe Matcha fills exactly that space. Positioned deliberately between the classic Emerald Forest Kirishima Matcha and the more complex Premium grade, it delivers greater depth, presence, and harmony without becoming overpowering.

Grown in the volcanic highlands of Kirishima on Japan’s southern island of Kyushu, this organic matcha benefits from mineral-rich soils, frequent mist, and decades of cultivation experience. The Deluxe grade reflects a more selective leaf harvest and refined processing than the standard version, while remaining softer and more approachable than the Premium. The result is a Drinking Grade matcha defined by balance and clarity.

For those who choose their matcha consciously

Kirishima Deluxe is designed for those ready to move beyond entry-level matcha. It offers noticeably more complexity and structure than the standard grade, yet stops short of the intense umami depth of the Premium. This careful positioning makes it an ideal daily matcha for mindful enjoyment.

As with all Emerald Forest matchas, cultivation follows strict organic principles. The tea farmers closely observe leaf development, soil moisture, and microclimate conditions on a daily basis. Harvest decisions are guided by the plants themselves, not by rigid schedules. This attentiveness is reflected clearly in the cup.

Balanced flavor with a clear character

Once prepared, Emerald Forest Kirishima Deluxe Matcha reveals a smooth, rounded profile with a gentle opening sweetness, creamy mouthfeel, and refined umami. The bitterness remains subtle and controlled, more defined than the standard grade, yet significantly softer than the Premium. The finish is calm, lingering, and elegant.

The aroma evokes fresh green leaves, light herbal notes, and a delicate warmth with faint nutty undertones. A profile that feels composed, versatile, and quietly expressive.
