Uji Tezumi Matcha 40g

Sourced from the historic tea region of Uji, Kyoto, this ceremonial-grade matcha blends three prized cultivars including Samidori, grown along the fertile riverbanks where hand-picked tencha receives extended shade cultivation before stone grinding. Complex umami and mild sweetness define its character, complemented by subtle forest-like notes and a delicate toasty aroma that emerges when the powder meets heat. The smooth, creamy palate delivers mellow depth without any harsh edges, making it equally suited to both usucha and koicha preparations. This matcha represents generations of refined cultivation techniques rooted in Uji's storied matcha heritage.
