About the Product

  • Origin: Uji, Japan


    Nestled between Kyoto and Lake Biwa, Uji is one of Japan’s most revered tea regions, with a history of cultivation stretching over 800 years. Its misty river valleys, mineral-rich water, and ideal climate create the perfect conditions for growing tea of exceptional quality—vibrant in color, rich in umami, and smooth on the palate. Uji is celebrated for both ceremonial matcha and high-grade sencha, a region where centuries of tradition meet meticulous craftsmanship.

    Our matcha comes from a family-owned tea shop in the heart of Uji, where the art of tea making has been lovingly passed down through 16 generations. Walking through their fields, you can feel the care in every leaf, nurtured by the rich soil and perfected by the region’s unique climate. Every scoop of this matcha carries not just the flavor of Uji, but the story of its people and their centuries-old dedication to the craft.
