BASARA Ceremonial Matcha - Foundational Blend 30g -
Our most approachable ceremonial matcha, crafted for daily enjoyment without compromise in quality.
Sourced from authentic tea farms throughout Japan and blended with care, it offers a vivid green hue, gentle umami, and a pleasant touch of astringency that welcomes both newcomers and seasoned tea lovers alike.
With its smooth texture and well-rounded flavor, it pairs beautifully with milk or sweeteners, allowing the natural aroma of matcha to shine through. Perfect for lattes, creative recipes, or simply whisked, it turns everyday moments into refined rituals.
While lighter in profile than our Artisan Blend, the Foundational Blend still carries the signature BASARA standard - elevated, authentic, and unmistakably Japanese.
