Nishide Tea Factory

(While stock last) #0802.K6 Nishide: Uji Matcha Chiyo Mukashi 千代昔 宇治抹茶, Stone mill ground, Standard Ceremonial Grade 40g

Sourced from the esteemed Nishide Tea Factory in Ujitawara, Uji—a region renowned for centuries as Japan's finest tea-producing territory—this ceremonial-grade matcha represents over 140 years of family expertise in tea refinement. The tea leaves are shade-grown for three to four weeks before being meticulously stone-ground, a traditional method that preserves the vibrant green color and delicate compounds essential for ceremony. Chiyo Mukashi delivers a smooth, balanced cup with subtle sweetness and the characteristic umami depth that distinguishes premium Uji matcha, making it ideal for traditional whisking and authentic matcha ceremony.
