This is a recommended matcha that represents our garden.
It is a single origin of the new variety "Narino" born from the "Okunoyama" tea garden that has continued since the Muromachi period.
This variety is characterized by its strong sweetness, and it has been proven that it contains nearly twice as much theanine, the source of umami, as other matcha varieties. It has such a strong umami flavor that it is said to be delicious to drink on its own without sweets, and it has a full-bodied aroma and rich flavor that is hard to find in other varieties. Please enjoy the matcha that can only be tasted at our farm.

Uji matcha has traditionally been crafted by blending different teas, creating a bowl defined by harmony and balance. This matcha follows that tradition while allowing the character of a single cultivar to be expressed more directly. It reflects the soil, climate, cultivation, and the conditions of that particular year—revealing the natural qualities of the cultivar and the subtle expression of the season.
