KB18 – Premium Ceremonial Blend (Okumidori & Yabukita)
Deep Natural Sweetness. Toasted Coconut Whispers. Everyday Luxury Perfected.
Crafted for those who crave a luxurious ceremonial experience without compromise, KB18 bridges top-tier artisanal quality with accessible everyday value. Encased in a classic 30g / 1.05 oz tin, this format is tailored for regular matcha drinkers who value vibrant peak-freshness in every scoop while exploring a diverse, nuanced palette of authentic Japanese tea profiles.
KB18 combines two iconic cultivars: the smooth, umami-rich Okumidori and the structured, aromatic Yabukita. Together, they form an impeccably balanced, stone-ground powder with an inviting vivid green appearance. On the palate, KB18 delivers a remarkably deep, rounded sweetness and clean finish. When whisked as Usucha, it offers a serene, harmoniously balanced bowl; when paired with steamed or iced milk, its complex profile blooms into a delightful, naturally subtle hint of creamy coconut—creating an unforgettable, velvet-smooth Matcha Latte.
KB18 – The Okumidori & Yabukita Harmony
Vivid Color, Deep Sweetness & Creamy Versatility
-
Vibrant, Fresh Green Tone: A lively, beautiful jade powder stone-ground to microscopic perfection. It reflects fresh spring harvests and careful shading, producing a luminous froth upon whisking.
-
Silky-Smooth, Micro-Fine Powder: Dissolves effortlessly into water or milk with no grittiness, yielding a cloud-like, silky crema that feels gentle on the palate.
-
Intriguing Coconut & Sweet Cream Notes: While clean and grassy in water, KB18 reveals an enchanting, subtle coconut-like sweetness when whisked into dairy or plant-based milk—adding an exotic, naturally rich dimension without any artificial flavoring.
-
Deeply Sweet & Balanced Flavor: Okumidori’s round, buttery sweetness perfectly balances Yabukita’s classic, refreshing backbone. The result is zero harshness, layered savory undertones, and a long, naturally sweet finish.
