Matcha Premium comes from the first harvest in the Yame region of Japan (Kyushu Island) and is made exclusively from a single cultivar—Yabukita. The Spill the Matcha brand recommends it both for beginners and as a reliable everyday matcha. You’ll appreciate it when preparing drinks or baking, especially when you’re looking for a great balance of price and quality.
Spill the Matcha considers the standard categorization into ceremonial, daily, latte, and culinary to be too restrictive—which is why they opted for the straightforward “Premium” designation. The tea has a rich green color, a smooth texture, and creates a beautiful foam when whisked. The flavor is pleasantly distinct with a slight bitterness that perfectly balances milk-based drinks and syrups. It’s great in matcha lattes, mixed with soda or tonic water for a refreshing drink, or in desserts.
