Sourced & produced in Kyoto
Authentic Uji Matcha from Japan
Premium Health Japan specialises in authentic Uji matcha sourced and produced in Kyoto, Japan.
Based in Osaka and working directly with Japanese tea farmers, we produce small-batch matcha tea from carefully shade-grown tea leaves, stone-milled in Kyoto to preserve freshness, vibrant green color, and flavour. Our matcha is a finely ground green tea powder, not a blended or bulk-produced product.
Rather than mass-market blending, we focus on transparency, origin, and traditional tea production methods. Whether prepared traditionally, enjoyed as a daily drink, or used for lattes with milk or steamed milk, our matcha reflects the qualities of high quality Japanese green tea.

Our Matcha. Our Process. Our Craft.
We work closely with independent tea farmers in Uji and Kyoto Prefecture who follow traditional cultivation, harvesting, and stone-milling techniques. Matcha is made from tencha leaves that are shaded before harvest, steamed, dried, and carefully milled into a fine powder.

Highly recommended
I’m super picky and there is so much bad matcha out there. NOT THIS — this was fantastic! More malty and vegetal, smooth, not so funky. Really clean.Chad MMichigan, United States
Rich and flavourful!
The aroma of cherry greeted me as I was preparing to make a bowl of matcha. When I poured in the water and whisked, I also caught a slight whiff of chocolate. It is wonderful — full of umami, complex flavours and a rich mouth feel!Mary DCalifornia, United States
A pleasure to trade with
Hello from Denmark. They took care of all parts of the shipment, so it was fair and easy for me. It has been a pleasure to trade with Uji Matcha Tea.Henry VGentofte, Denmark
A real matcha guy
The service and knowledge of Luke is very high — a real matcha guy. I requested a sample and it was much better than the one I was planning to buy from a different company.Patrick VDen Haag, Netherlands
OM(atcha)G!!!
This is the best matcha I have ever tasted. Hot or cold, it has a strong smooth flavour, creamy consistency, the most beautiful shade of vibrant green, and gives me plenty of jitter-free giddy up. They do matcha to perfection. Love it. Mean it. Drink it.Claire FNew South Wales, Australia
Smooth, vibrant & authentic
This is easily one of the best matchas I’ve ever tried. The colour is a vivid green, the texture is super fine, and the flavour is smooth with no bitterness — just the right balance of umami and natural sweetness. I love that it’s organic and sourced from Kyoto.Mary NVictoria, Australia
Founder-led, based in Osaka
Our Story
Premium Health Japan was founded by Luke, who moved from Australia to Japan and discovered authentic Uji matcha in Kyoto. A former personal trainer and boxing coach, he learned early that what you put into your body matters - and during his late mother's battle with cancer, he became even more mindful about clean, trusted ingredients. Matcha became a quiet anchor in that time: something simple, honest, and nourishing.
Today we remain a small, founder-led company, working directly with trusted tea farmers across Japan. Luke visits the farms in person and works alongside the growers during harvest - so the matcha we offer is tea we have seen from the field to the mill, and would be glad to serve the people we care about most.

The essentials
What Is Uji Matcha?
Uji matcha is a premium Japanese green tea powder produced from shade-grown tea leaves cultivated in and around Uji, Kyoto Prefecture, Japan. Unlike brewed green tea, matcha is a powdered tea that is whisked with hot water, allowing the whole leaf to be consumed.
This method results in matcha with a vibrant green color, smooth umami flavour, creamy texture, and minimal bitterness — qualities associated with high quality matcha.

What sets it apart
What Makes Uji Matcha Different?
The region's smooth taste, rich aroma, vivid green color, and clean finish come from careful cultivation, extended shading before harvest, and precise stone-milling into a fine powder.
Kyoto's climate, soil, and centuries of tea-growing have made the area the benchmark for ceremonial grade matcha and the home of the Japanese tea ceremony.
The highest grade
Ceremonial Grade Matcha
Ceremonial grade matcha refers to the highest grade matcha used for traditional preparation. It is valued for its smooth mouthfeel, naturally sweet character, sweet nuttiness, and balanced umami flavour.
Lower grades of matcha powder are often used for baking or cooking, while ceremonial grade matcha is intended to be prepared with hot water or milk, whisked into a frothy bowl, or enjoyed in lattes.

Sweeten Your Matcha with Okinawa Kokuto Syrup
Our ready-to-use Okinawa brown sugar syrup (kokuto mitsu) turns an everyday bowl of matcha into a deep, caramel-rich latte — just warm your milk, stir a little in, and pour over matcha hot or iced.
Made with authentic Okinawan kokuto and slow-cooked by a century-old Osaka sugar house, it carries a rounded, mineral sweetness you won't find in a plain sugar syrup, and is rarely available outside Japan.
