#0796.K6 Tsujiki: Limited Edition Competition Grade Uji Heritage Matcha, Uji Hikari Single Cultivar, by Master Kyoto Tea Farmer Tsuji Kiyoharu (20g) 辻喜の抹茶うじひかり

Sourced from the legendary Uji region of Kyoto, this competition-grade matcha represents Master Tsuji Kiyoharu's most meticulous work—a micro-lot of hand-selected Uji Hikari leaves grown under traditional shading and harvested at peak youth. As a fifth-generation farmer whose dedication to excellence has earned him Japan's Prime Minister's Award for agriculture, Tsuji-san applies centuries-old cultivation techniques enhanced by monthly soil analysis and annual amino acid profiling to ensure unparalleled quality. The leaves are stone-ground into a fine powder after careful refinement, capturing the cultivar's distinctive character: bright vegetal notes, creamy umami depth, and a delicate sweetness that defines premium ceremonial matcha. This limited edition offering is ideal for those seeking the pinnacle of traditional Japanese tea craftsmanship, best appreciated for its nuanced flavors in ceremonial preparation.
