03
Which blend types have the best availability
Ultra-premium is in stock more reliably than mid-ceremonial. Demand pressure concentrates where prices feel accessible. The mid-ceremonial sweet spot, the range most people buy usucha from, is the most contested tier. Latte-grade and latte-oriented ceremonial have better availability than pure-drinking ceremonial.
04
Blends most frequently out of stock
Most OOS checks logged through September 2026: Shohokuen Iwai no Mukashi (56), Kyo Hayashiya Oimatsu 20g (42), Shogyokuen Seicha Seisho-no-Mukashi and Tsutsuki-no-Mukashi (40 each), Aoi Seicha Mugenzo and the Itoh Kyuemon trio — Uji Midori, Jukyu, Seiju no Mori (38 each). High OOS count reflects demand, not defect. Set restock alerts on these rather than checking manually.
