Yabukita can be drunk straight warm or cold, or mixed into a trendy latte for an afternoon pick-me-up or as a morning energizer. We classify this Yabukita cultivar from Uji, Kyoto as a Daily Matcha because it is at an affordable price point with a good balance of astringency and hints of umami. 

Yabukita was developed as a cultivar in 1908 by Hikosaburo Sugiyama just north of a languid bamboo grove. In fact, this is where the name comes from with “yabu” meaning “bamboo” and “kita” meaning “north”. So "Yabukita" means "north of the bamboo grove"!

From the 1950s onward, Yabukita became Japan’s most popular tea cultivar, with 75% of Japan’s tea fields and 90% of Shizuoka’s tea fields. Yabukita is often made into sencha, which is a popular style of tea for everyday consumption and use. Yabukita is frost and drought resistant. It has a high yield and can adapt to different soil and climate types, which all further contribute to this cultivar being such a monolith of the tea world in Japan.

How to Enjoy Whisk Matcha

Make the perfect cup of matcha for your daily routine in three simple steps:

  • Measure

    Measure 1/2 tsp of matcha into a bowl. The powder can be sifted to reduce clumps. Alternatively, 3/4 tsp can be used for a more robust flavor.

  • Whisk

    Add about 2-3 oz of 160-170F water to the matcha. This temperature is hot to the touch, but much lower than boiling. Whisk until a thick foam develops.

  • Enjoy

    Add 5-6 oz of hot water to the mixture. For a cold version, pour whisked matcha over ice. Add more water, milk, or sweetener if the drink is too bitter.

Inhale the fragrance and savor each sip!

Love the shaker. I'm able to get a nice froth from this product. It does keep everything cool or hot for an extended period of time. What was really exceptional about the product ans order was the care and quality of the packaging in the shipping process. It was perfectly wrapped in tissue paper a d bubble wrap to ensure no damage in the transit. High quality all around. Will order again from the company.

I love this matcha! After falling in love with Whisk matcha late last year, I’ve tried other brands across a vast array of options and nothing compares. This is my morning beverage, and it’s so rich and delicious. A true treat.

I love the roasty flavor of Yabukita. Oat milk is my favorite thing to mix it with. If you like roasty matcha like me, this is the one for you!

I've heard so much about Asahi variety and couldn't find it anywhere at a resonable price. So glad I found it on Whisk. I'll be sure to come back and try different types of matcha that they have.
