A Uji Matcha Crafted from Kyoto-Grown Tencha, Blended for a Light and Refreshing Usucha Experience
The ingredients are hand-picked young buds and high-quality tencha selected from the tencha-producing areas of Kyoto Prefecture. This matcha is characterized by a moderate astringency and a mellow flavor that spreads deep within. We recommend drinking it as a thin tea.

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.
