First Flush vs Second Flush Matcha

If you drink matcha tea often, you've probably heard the terms "first-flush" or "second flush" (ichibancha or nibancha), and the price of first-flush tea is significantly higher. If you're not sure why, let me explain below.

Why matcha first flush is better✅

During winter, tea buds hibernate for several months, awaiting the arrival of spring. During this time, they accumulate all their valuable nutrients, making them exceptionally rich and flavorful.

As the saying goes, "Quality takes time." First flush tea leaves grow slowly in cold conditions, drawing the best from nature over a longer period. This makes first flush matcha unrivaled in quality and flavor, offering a more intense experience for true connoisseurs.

Why First Flush Tea is Better✅

L-theanine is a key source of umami, the plant-based sweetness that defines matcha's quality and character. Matcha from the first harvest contains three times more L-theanine than tea from the second harvest. Later harvests, such as the third and fourth, have even lower L-theanine content. Furthermore, the first harvest concentrates the highest concentration of nutrients in the leaves.

If you've ever tasted very bitter matcha, it likely wasn't first-ripe tea. Bitterness isn't synonymous with matcha flavor; high-quality matcha has an intense, full-bodied flavor with minimal bitterness, meaning you don't need to add sugar to balance the flavor.

This listing features Marcha, which consists of the first harvest and a touch of the second. It's perfect for making matcha lattes, drinking it with sugar, or any other preparation. If you're mixing your matcha with anything other than water, this version is for you, as you won't notice the difference between this and the 100% first harvest. However, if you drink it with just water, the bitterness will be noticeable. It's perfect for those just starting out with matcha.

How to recognize good matcha✅

Good matcha is recognized primarily by its color . It must be intensely green, because the higher and younger the leaves, the more chlorophyll they contain, which is responsible for the intense green color. Lower-growing leaves are more yellow because they receive less light. Therefore, the more intensely green the matcha, the better the leaves used in its production, while the more yellow it is, the older and from the lower reaches of the plant. We are offering ceremonial, economical matcha in this auction, marked in green in the box below.

The second indicator of quality is consistency. The silkier the powder, the better. We can check this by grinding the matcha, for example, on a piece of white paper. The best matcha usually takes the longest to grind to the finest powder. We grind both types using a traditional stone matcha mill, but you can still see the difference in the photo below between our ceremonial and regular matcha. A bad matcha will be completely brown and we won't be able to create a continuous line.

Bitter notes don't always indicate poor quality, as whether matcha has them depends on the region and cultivation method. Of course, if the matcha is undrinkable or develops a fishy aftertaste, it's an indicator of poor quality and a late harvest.

The following scale can be used to test any type of matcha, and I encourage you to do so. Matcha grades such as everyday, traditional, premium, and luxury matcha are designed for marketing purposes and don't tell us much about the product's quality. In reality, quality is determined by the characteristics I've described.

What are the differences between the coats of arms of the Japanese regions?

"The color is Shizuoka, the scent is Uji, and the taste is Sayama." These ancient words from a folk song from "Sayamacha Tsukuriuta" show us three regions in Japan where high-quality matcha is produced.

Shizuoka Tea: The Pinnacle of Japanese Green Tea

Shizuoka is the true tea capital of Japan, accounting for 40% of the country's tea production. The history of tea cultivation in this region dates back to 1241, making Shizuoka not only the largest producer but also a place with a long and rich tea tradition.

Its unparalleled climate, crystal-clear waters, and strategic location near major ports make Shizuoka the heart of green tea in Japan. Tea plantations stretch across the picturesque hillsides near Mount Fuji and along rivers, taking advantage of the region's diverse topography and climate.

Rich, volcanic soil and fresh water create ideal conditions for tea production. The varying degrees of sunlight, temperature, and morning mists in different parts of Shizuoka contribute to the extraordinary diversity of flavors and aromas of teas from this region. Shizuoka is a place where nature and tradition combine to create some of the finest teas in the world. Whether it's rich tencha used for matcha, classic sencha, nutty genmaicha, or smoky hojicha, Shizuoka tea offers a wide range of flavors and health benefits, including stress reduction and antioxidant properties.

Uji Tea: The Essence of Kyoto

Renowned for its exquisite quality, Uji tea, also known as Kyoto tea, originates from the picturesque village of Wazuka. This village is renowned not only for its stunning tea plantations, such as Ishitera Harayama, Shirasu, and Erihara, but also for being recognized as one of the most beautiful villages in Japan in 2015. Uji tea's rich history dates back to the Kamakura period in the 13th century and was prized as a luxury gift. Thanks to its proximity to Kyoto, where the Emperor of Japan resided, tea from Uji often graced his table.

Sayama Tea: Saitama's Hidden Gem

On the outskirts of Tokyo, on the Musashino Plateau, Sayama tea, also known as Saitama tea, thrives. In its cool climate, it produces thick leaves that withstand winter frosts. The region's fertile soil produces a sweet, aromatic tea that has been enjoyed since the Heian period. Originally prized for its medicinal properties, Sayama tea now delights palates with a variety of culinary delights, such as its unique green tea leaves in tempura.
