Key Features

This ceremonial grade Uji matcha is crafted for smooth, consistent daily enjoyment. Made from first harvest green tea leaves grown in Uji, Kyoto, the shaded tencha is carefully blended and stone milled into a fine green tea powder with a vivid green color and exceptionally clean taste.

Unlike many matcha powders that require precise preparation to avoid bitterness, this matcha tea is intentionally blended to be forgiving and approachable. Even when prepared casually, it produces a smooth, naturally sweet cup with gentle umami and almost no bitterness.

Packed in a practical 100 g resealable zip bag, this ceremonial matcha is designed for regular use — ideal for matcha drinkers who want excellent quality at a realistic daily price point. It is suitable for traditional thin tea (usucha), modern matcha lattes, and a wide range of hot or cold matcha drinks.

Texture: Ultra-fine matcha powder that whisks quickly into a smooth, creamy foam.
Aroma: Fresh green tea leaves, soft sweetness, and gentle marine notes.

Ceremonial Grade Matcha for Daily Drinking

This ceremonial grade Uji matcha is blended to deliver consistent quality across cups, making it an excellent choice for those who drink matcha tea regularly. By combining multiple first-harvest lots, the tea master creates a matcha powder that maintains vibrant green color, smooth flavor, and balanced sweetness throughout the year.

It is an approachable option for those new to ceremonial matcha, while still satisfying experienced matcha lovers who want a reliable, good-quality matcha for everyday bowls.

Stone-Milled Green Tea from Uji, Kyoto

Uji is recognised as one of Japan’s most important matcha-producing regions, known for its long history of shaded tea cultivation and stone milling. For this matcha, tea plants are shade grown before harvest to increase chlorophyll and amino acid content, contributing to its vibrant green color and smooth taste.

After harvesting, the tencha is steamed, dried, and carefully de-stemmed before being stone ground at low temperature into a fine green tea powder. Keeping the entire process within Uji allows for strict quality control and a clean, traceable production flow.

How This Matcha Is Commonly Enjoyed

This matcha powder is most often prepared as thin tea (usucha), whisked with hot water using a bamboo whisk. It also performs exceptionally well in matcha lattes, whether made with dairy milk or plant-based options such as oat milk.

While culinary grade matcha is typically used for baking, this ceremonial matcha can be added to smoothies or simple baked goods when a smoother flavor and brighter color are desired.

Storage & Freshness

Because matcha powder is finely ground, it is sensitive to air, light, and humidity. Store this green tea powder tightly sealed in a cool, dark place. Refrigeration after opening is recommended to help preserve color, aroma, and flavor over time.
