H&S Jobetsugi Matcha -Thin Grade

In the quiet tea rooms of Kyoto, long before teapots and strainers, tea was a vivid green powder whisked into steaming water — a drink of meditation, grace, and ceremony. Harney & Sons Matcha Jobetsugi carries that centuries-old Japanese tradition into the modern cup, blending ritual and refreshment in every sip.

Made from shade-grown Tencha leaves cultivated in the hills of Uji — Japan’s most revered matcha region — this thin-grade matcha is air-dried, then stone-ground by hand in a room filled with soft green dust. Each millstone turns for an hour to yield just two ounces of this luminous tea. The result is a fine, almost neon powder that whisks into a smooth, frothy drink, offering subtle notes of honeydew, artichoke, and fresh spinach.

Delicate yet vibrant, Jobetsugi is best enjoyed hot, though it also shines when served iced. Its flavor pairs beautifully with dark chocolate or as a serene companion to quiet mornings.

The Story Behind the Blend

For over four decades, Harney & Sons has honored the world’s most storied tea traditions — from London parlors to Japanese tea rooms. Their matcha selections are sourced directly from master growers in Uji, Kyoto, where tea cultivation has been an art form for more than eight centuries.

This Matcha Jobetsugi (Thin Grade) pays homage to that heritage — a gentle, ceremonial tea crafted for balance, purity, and quiet joy. Every sip is a connection to Japan’s timeless devotion to tea and the calm it inspires.
