Watakumo "Cotton Cloud" - Ceremonial Matcha
Watakumo is the quiet one in the range.
A rare blend of Sayamakaori and Okumidori from Honyama, Shizuoka. Sayamakaori brings subtle sweetness and depth; Okumidori adds colour and balance. The result is soft and earthy with a gentle nuttiness and low bitterness - the kind of cup that suits slow mornings and long afternoons equally well.
Shade-grown. Stone-milled. Not trying to be the loudest thing in the room.
棉雲 - cotton cloud.
Matcha Care
Matcha Care
To keep your matcha fresh and full of life, follow these simple steps:
DO
- Store in a cool, dry place, away from heat, moisture, and sunlight
- After first use, refrigerate the matcha to preserve its color and flavor
- Keep the lid sealed tightly to prevent air and humidity from affecting the powder
- Use dry, clean utensils when scooping
- Consume within 1–2 months after opening for peak freshness
DON'T
- Leave the matcha open or unsealed
- Store near strong odors—matcha can easily absorb surrounding smells
- Use wet or damp spoons, as moisture may cause clumping or spoilage
