Discover the results of Nio Teas’ 4 step tea tasting method
To evaluate the Chanoka Yabukita Matcha, we evaluated the texture of the matcha as well as the flavor. Does it produce a dryness, sweetness, minerality or acidity? We’ll also evaluate how thick or rich the consistency of the matcha is, otherwise known as mouthfeel. Finally, for matcha specifically, we like to take a look at the vegetal flavor of the tea, as this is a profile consistent across all types of matcha.
Step 1 - Observing the Appearance
The color of this matcha is a slightly pale green with more of a lighter color
Step 2 - Assessing the Aroma
The aroma coming off the powder as it is mixed into the water is savory with a hint of sweet spice
Step 3 - Tasting the Tea
This matcha begins with a smooth sweetness that later transitions to a strong savory flavor profile on the mid palate. Then, a hint of acidity starts to kick in to quench the palate before finishing with a slightly dry sweetness.
Step 4 - Evaluating the sensation on the palate
This matcha has a combination of dryness and acidity that invigorates the palate, as well as a powerful umami that adds depth and character to the structure.
100% Organically grown and Ethically Sourced
At Nio, we like collaborating closely with tea farmers who use organic and pesticide-free methods to grow their plants. Our visits to tea fields in Japan have shown us that these natural practices not only enhance the flavor of the tea but also promote the long-term health and sustainability of the tea fields.

The JAS logo found on our products signifies compliance with the Japanese Agriculture Standards, which ensures that products are cultivated without the use of pesticides or chemicals, and is overseen by a government body.

Necessary teaware
To prepare matcha, you will need the following accessories:
- A matcha bowl, also known as a chawan, is a shallow ceramic or porcelain bowl that is specially designed for whisking matcha.
- A matcha whisk, or chasen, is a bamboo whisk with thin tines that is used to mix and froth matcha powder with hot water.
- A matcha scoop, or chashaku, is a bamboo scoop that is used to measure the appropriate amount of matcha powder and transfer it to the matcha bowl.

Location of production and farmer
Information about the farm
The Chanoka Yabukita matcha is supplied by Takada Masahiro, a Uji-based farmer who runs Chanoka, a family business with a long history of producing high-quality teas. The Chanoka legacy dates back to 1900 when Masahiro's great-grandfather established their first tea garden in Uji, and the family has been dedicated to cultivating and manufacturing exceptional teas ever since.

Sourced in Uji
Japan
The Chanoka Yabukita matcha is produced in Uji. Uji is arguably the most famous region for Japanese green tea production. This specific green tea is cultivated on Mr. Chanoka's tea farm, and it is grown at an altitude of 400 meters. The yabukita matcha is shaded for 3 weeks before the harvest in order to develop a nice sweet and savory flavor.
Cultivar and tea plant variety
As the name would suggest, the Chanoka Yabukita matcha is made using the Yabukita cultivar, the most popular tea plant variety in Japan.
-
Yabukita
Yabukita has become by far the most popular tea plant variety produced in Japan, making up close to 75% of the total production. One reason this tea cultivar has become so popular is because it is resistant to frost, so it can survive the relatively cold winters of Central Japan. The tea also produces a strong savory and vegetal flavor, which is well-liked by fans of Japanese green tea.
