What is Uji Matcha?

Uji Matcha is a premium Japanese green tea powder made using a traditional method passed down for centuries in Kyoto’s Uji region.

How It’s Made

Only the finest tea leaves are used—cut into small pieces about 5mm in size, with stems and veins removed. 
These are then carefully ground into an ultra-fine powder using a stone mill.
To protect the vivid green color and delicate aroma, the leaves are ground very slowly without generating heat. In fact, a single stone mill can produce only about 35 grams per hour. That is why matcha is so luxurious and rare.

Enjoy in Many Ways

Because of this time-consuming and delicate process, Uji Matcha is considered one of the highest quality and most sought-after teas in Japan. Its unique balance of natural sweetness, mild bitterness, and deep umami flavor sets it apart from regular green tea.

From the Japanese tea ceremony to modern favorites like matcha lattes, smoothies, and desserts, Uji Matcha brings authentic flavor and a touch of luxury to everyday life.
