Cultivar: Yabukita
Harvest: 1st & 2nd flush
Ibu-iro 彩露 (イブ彩露) is a special collaboration between Matcha Biyori and Eve’s Fermentation Lab.
Harvested on a tea farm in Kyoto founded in the 1700s, this matcha comes from 100% Yabukita tea leaves, cultivated without pesticides and certified JAS organic in Japan. It contains more first-harvest leaves than standard blends, giving it a bright, robust flavor.
With its bold bitterness and vibrant green color, Ibu-iro is crafted especially for lattes (including plant-based milks), smoothies, baking, and creative cooking. It’s the perfect choice when you want matcha’s character to shine through in drinks and sweets.
To keep costs fair and accessible, we do not display the official organic seal on the packaging — but the same care, quality, and farming standards remain.
This blend was created together with Eve’s Fermentation Lab, known for their dedication to fermentation, sustainability, and mindful food culture.
We do not use terms such as “ceremonial grade.” These labels are often vague and do not reflect how matcha is traditionally understood or used in Japan.
Instead, we select and describe our matcha according to its intended use. This approach is rooted in respect — for the farmers who cultivate the tea, and for the tea ceremony practitioners (chajin) who have shaped how matcha is prepared, shared, and understood over generations.
Each matcha is chosen for how it performs in practice: whether it is suited for usucha or koicha, how it behaves in the bowl, and how its flavour unfolds when prepared correctly. For us, this is not about ranking quality, but about clarity of purpose and cultural continuity.
