“Absolute”

Grade 2 – Signature Matcha

Rich Umami, Vivid Aroma

Signature Matcha & Tea Collection

A high-grade matcha combining rich umami with a vivid, elegant aroma.

MATCHA 02 – ABSOLUTE is one of Ginza Fuka’s signature high-grade matcha blends, created to bring together two defining qualities of exceptional matcha: profound richness and expressive fragrance.

Its deep umami and full body give the tea a satisfying sense of richness, while a vivid green aroma rises above it, evoking the fresh fragrance of a tea field.

Prepared traditionally with water, Absolute reveals a smooth, concentrated expression with generous umami and an elegant aromatic character.

Its presence remains equally distinctive with milk.

Even in a hot matcha latte, the vivid aroma of green tea remains clear and expressive, while its rich body develops into a deeper, creamier texture. Rather than disappearing behind the milk, the character of the matcha becomes fuller and more immersive.

This balance of fragrance and richness defines Absolute.

A matcha with enough elegance to be enjoyed traditionally, and enough depth to reveal the world of matcha even through milk.
