Uji matcha is not completed by a single garden or cultivar alone. It is a tradition of carefully composing a bowl by selecting teas from different gardens and cultivars, while considering the character of each year’s harvest. By bringing these elements together, the tea master’s role is to shape a blend that maintains a consistent style from year to year.
