Just south of Japan’s ancient capital roll the hills of Uji, where the tradition of green tea has thrived for centuries. Farms of the region specialize in shade-grown teas, with rich soil beds along the Ujigawa river providing fertile grounds for chlorophyll-dense leaves. Years of careful practice culminates in a stone-ground matcha whose flavors are mellow, delicate, and expertly balanced, providing a gateway to Japanese tea culture for drinkers of all kinds. In the final cup, we taste notes of heavy cream, fresh artichoke, and a gentle floral finish.
