Special features
Ceremonial Grade
Finest, bright green matcha powder from hand-picked tea leaves of the first harvest. A balanced, umami-rich aroma profile with a mild sweetness.
Single Origin & Organic Quality
All tea leaves come from a clearly defined cultivation area in Miyazaki Prefecture. Organic certified, unadulterated and true to variety.
Quality difference to cheaper matcha
Bright green color, very little bitterness, and a full-bodied, balanced umami.
First Flush – hand-picked (Tezumi)
Only young, high-quality Tencha leaves from the first picking (Ichibancha / First Flush), carefully harvested by hand.
Traditional stone milling
Gently ground in granite stone mills (approx. 120 mesh). The slow grinding – about one hour for 30 g of Matcha – ensures a particularly fine texture.
Elaborate shading
Two-stage shading (approx. 85–100%) for 20–30 days before harvest. This traditional method defines the color, taste, and typical matcha profile.
Origin with clarity and transparency
Our matcha comes from the Japanese prefecture of Miyazaki and is produced by a renowned, multi-award-winning tea farmer with whom we work directly. This close connection enables clear, traceable origin as well as transparency about cultivation, harvesting and processing.
By sourcing directly, we deliberately avoid intermediaries. Each batch is traceable, organically certified and is tested both by the producer and additionally in Germany by an independent laboratory.
For us, quality means not only taste, but also trust – in the producer, the craftsmanship and an origin that we openly communicate.
Freshly Harvested Organic Matcha from Miyazaki
After harvesting, Tencha in Japan is traditionally ground on granite stone mills and packaged to protect it from light. This preserves the characteristic aroma and ensures that the Matcha reaches you in its original quality.
Ceremonial grade describes matcha made from particularly young, hand-picked tea leaves, intended for pure enjoyment. PIĒRU is made from first-harvest Tencha leaves and traditionally ground on stone mills.
PIĒRU is a single-origin matcha from Japan's Miyazaki Prefecture. All tea leaves come from a clearly defined cultivation area and are fully traceable.
Single Origin means that the matcha is not blended from different regions or harvests. Origin, cultivation, and processing are clearly traceable and unadulterated.
The first spring harvest (First Flush) yields particularly young and delicate tea leaves. They define the color, texture, and balanced umami profile of PIĒRU.
After harvesting, the tea leaves are shaded, gently dried, and slowly ground in traditional granite stone mills. This processing ensures their fine consistency and clear aroma profile.
PIĒRU has a mild taste and is characterised by a delicate sweetness and a balanced umami. When prepared correctly, no dominant bitterness develops.
PIĒRU is suitable for both Usucha and Koicha. For Usucha, whisk about 1–2 g of matcha with 70–80 °C hot water. For Koicha, more matcha is used with less water.
Yes. PIĒRU is organically certified and is also regularly inspected.
Each batch is traceable and is tested both by the producer and additionally in Germany by an independent laboratory.
Store in a cool, dry place away from light. After opening, close the tin tightly to preserve its aroma and colour.
