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.
