Its natural bitterness and bold smokiness are assets in a latte or recipe, but they overpower in a plain bowl of usucha. For drinking straight, step up to our \u003ca href=\"\/collections\/ceremonial-matcha\"\u003eCeremonial Matcha range\u003c\/a\u003e, starting with \u003ca href=\"\/products\/toyo-mukashi\"\u003eToyo Mukashi\u003c\/a\u003e or \u003ca href=\"\/products\/izumi-no-shiro\"\u003eIzumi No Shiro\u003c\/a\u003e.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch4\u003eWhat makes the Kanaya Midori cultivar suited for culinary use?\u003c\/h4\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eKanaya Midori is a cultivar developed for bold aroma, strong body, and consistent performance across processing and heat. Its pronounced smokiness and natural bitterness cut through milk and sweetness without losing character - exactly what café and bakery applications demand. It is not as refined as ceremonial cultivars like Samidori or Okumidori, but in culinary use, that boldness is its strength.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch4\u003eHow does Seifu perform in matcha lattes?\u003c\/h4\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eVery well. Seifu's bold smokiness, hazelnut body, and clean bitterness hold up in both hot and iced lattes without washing out. It produces a vibrant green color and a distinct matcha presence even in oat milk and other plant-based milks. It is one of our most reordered café matchas across Thailand.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch4\u003eIs Seifu good for baking?\u003c\/h4\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eYes. Seifu's bold character and smoky depth translate well under heat, making it well suited for matcha cakes, cookies, mochi, and other baked goods. Its bitterness balances sweetness in recipes. For bakery use, the 500g and 1,000g pouches offer the best value.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch4\u003eWhat is the difference between Ceremonial, Daily, and Latte Matcha?\u003c\/h4\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eAt Chaseki, matcha is categorized by intended use rather than by a single quality label. Ceremonial Matcha is crafted for traditional preparation such as usucha and koicha, offering depth, balance, and refined structure. Daily Matcha is designed for regular enjoyment, combining good umami with freshness and versatility across preparation styles. Latte Matcha is selected for milk-based and cold preparations, where clarity, smoothness, and consistency are key.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch4\u003eIs this matcha suitable for beginners?\u003c\/h4\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eYes. All Chaseki matcha is suitable for beginners, though different styles suit different preferences. Daily Matcha and Latte Matcha are especially approachable due to their balance and ease of preparation, while Ceremonial Matcha offers a deeper experience for those interested in traditional preparation.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch4\u003eHow should I choose the right matcha for my use?\u003c\/h4\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eIf you enjoy traditional preparation with water, start with Ceremonial or Daily Matcha. If you plan to prepare matcha lattes, cold whisk matcha, or mixed drinks, Latte Matcha or Daily Matcha is the best choice. Each product page includes preparation recommendations to help you choose confidently.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch4\u003eHow should I store matcha properly?\u003c\/h4\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eMatcha should be stored in the fridge or freezer to protect it from light, heat, and oxygen, all of which affect color, flavor, and freshness. Proper cold storage helps extend the shelf life of matcha significantly. When stored in the fridge, matcha stays fresh for up to four months after opening. In the freezer, it can maintain quality for over one year if kept unopened or well sealed.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eIt is essential to store matcha in an airtight container, as matcha easily absorbs surrounding odors. If placed in a fridge or freezer without proper protection, especially near strong-smelling foods such as cheese or fermented products, the matcha will absorb these odors and be permanently affected. For best results, always reseal tightly and allow matcha to return to room temperature before opening to avoid condensation.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch4\u003eDoes matcha contain caffeine?\u003c\/h4\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eYes. Matcha naturally contains caffeine as well as L-theanine, which contributes to a calmer, more sustained energy compared to coffee. The exact caffeine level depends on the cultivar, harvest, and preparation style.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch4\u003eIs Chaseki matcha sourced directly from Japan?\u003c\/h4\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eYes. All Chaseki matcha is sourced from established tea producers in Japan, working with small and medium-sized tea farms and factories. We focus on transparency, cultivar information, and long-term relationships with our partners.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch4\u003eIs this matcha suitable for cafes and professional use?\u003c\/h4\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eYes. Many Chaseki matcha products are available in larger formats and are used by cafes, restaurants, and professional kitchens. Daily and Latte Matcha are especially suited for consistent performance in high-volume environments.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch4\u003eWhat is the difference between single-cultivar and blended matcha?\u003c\/h4\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eSingle-cultivar matcha is made from one tea cultivar and highlights its specific characteristics. Blended matcha combines multiple cultivars to achieve balance, consistency, or a specific flavor profile. Both styles are used intentionally, depending on the desired result.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch2\u003eRelated Products\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003ca href=\"\/products\/kakuin\"\u003eKakuin\u003c\/a\u003e - a Samidori culinary matcha with a cleaner, more neutral profile for menus that need less smokiness\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003ca href=\"\/products\/toyo-mukashi\"\u003eToyo Mukashi\u003c\/a\u003e - the natural step up for customers who want to drink matcha straight\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003ca href=\"\/products\/izumi-no-shiro\"\u003eIzumi No Shiro\u003c\/a\u003e - a lighter, greener ceremonial option for clear-style and iced preparations\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003ca href=\"\/pages\/b2b\"\u003eMatcha for Your Café Menu\u003c\/a\u003e - our full B2B guide to building a matcha menu\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e","brand":"Shogyokuen","offers":[{"title":"100g","offer_id":47868863414429,"sku":"SHO-MAT-SEI-100P","price":768.0,"currency_code":"THB","in_stock":true},{"title":"250g","offer_id":47868863447197,"sku":"SHO-MAT-SEI-250P","price":1706.0,"currency_code":"THB","in_stock":true},{"title":"500g","offer_id":47868863479965,"sku":"SHO-MAT-SEI-500P","price":3032.0,"currency_code":"THB","in_stock":true},{"title":"1000g","offer_id":47868863512733,"sku":"SHO-MAT-SEI-1000S","price":5390.0,"currency_code":"THB","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0347\/1228\/9412\/files\/seifu-50g_9bdfa180-2b52-4bd7-95b3-3c9d7c1643e5.jpg?v=1777144695"},{"product_id":"shunju","title":"Shunju - Chaseki Private Blend Culinary Matcha from Yame, Fukuoka","description":"\u003cstrong\u003eShunju - Chaseki Private Blend Culinary Matcha from Yame, Fukuoka\u003c\/strong\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eShunju (春秋) is part of the Chaseki Private Label collection - a culinary matcha crafted by our network of tea masters and partner farms in Yame, Fukuoka Prefecture, and sold exclusively under the Chaseki brand. Yame is one of Japan's most historically prestigious tea-growing regions. Where most culinary matchas are defined by smokiness and bitterness, Shunju is built around a richer, more nuanced character: fresh-cut grass and buttered snowpeas as the green foundation, with dark chocolate, cacao nibs, toasted hazelnut, and vanilla layered through the mid-palate.

From there, the character shifts into more complex territory: hints of macadamia and toasted hazelnuts add nuttiness, followed by rich notes of dark chocolate and cacao nibs - warm, deep, and unmistakably present. Vanilla runs through the finish, soft and integrating.

Yame Gyokuro Powder brings those qualities in an accessible, versatile format: the delicate floral and creamy sweetness of shade-grown Yame tea, ready to dissolve directly into milk, smoothies, or water.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eIt is not a straight tencha matcha - it is a blended powder calibrated for convenience and broad application while retaining the distinctive character of Yame's gyokuro heritage.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch2\u003eTaste Profile\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eMouthfeel:\u003c\/strong\u003e Smooth, lively \u003cstrong\u003eFinish:\u003c\/strong\u003e Medium, sweet \u003cstrong\u003eCharacter:\u003c\/strong\u003e Floral, creamy sweet, buttered corn, nuts, delicate flowers \u003cstrong\u003eFlavor Notes\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eYame Gyokuro Powder opens with a smooth, lively mouthfeel - lighter than standard matcha in texture, but with a natural sweetness and floral complexity that immediately distinguishes it. Notes of green vegetables ground the character. Buttered corn adds a warm, caramelized sweetness. Nut impressions add gentle depth. Delicate flowers - the floral quality characteristic of shade-grown Yame - run through the mid-palate and into the finish, clean and aromatic. The overall impression is sweet, smooth, and lively - a matcha alternative with genuine character.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch2\u003eHow to Use Yame Gyokuro Powder\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eBest suited for:\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eMatcha lattes (hot and iced)\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eClear-style preparations\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eUsucha\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eYame Gyokuro Powder's smooth, floral, and sweet character makes it particularly well suited to lattes where its natural sweetness reduces the need for added sweetener.
