Unkaku Uji Matcha by Marukyu Koyamaen

Sourced from the legendary Marukyu Koyamaen in Uji, Kyoto, this premium matcha represents four centuries of mastery in Japanese tea craftsmanship. Unkaku delivers a bold initial character that gracefully unfolds into nuanced complexity, with a sweet and mellow finish that lingers pleasantly on the palate. The tea balances robust depth with refined elegance, making it equally suited to ceremonial preparation or blending into lattes and culinary applications. From a producer honored with 22 first-prize awards at Japan's National Tea Competition, this matcha embodies the exacting standards that have earned its use in tea schools, shrines, and temples throughout Japan.
