What makes our Limited Matcha Uji special?
Our Uji Matcha is not only ground in Uji, like many other Uji Matchas, but is also grown and harvested in Masahiro San's Uji tea garden. His tea fields are nestled between forests in the heart of Uji and are therefore well protected from harmful environmental influences.
🧏♂️WHY IS THIS IMPORTANT? Only our matcha grown and processed in Uji has the typical sweetness, mildness, and full-bodied aroma of Uji matcha. Matcha from Kagoshima or Fukuoka is not comparable in quality.

Compared to our other matcha teas, this matcha has the highest sweetness, no bitterness and a very creamy-soft mouthfeel. The high quality can be recognized by the fragrant cocoa-like aromas and the bright green color. This is only achieved by shading the tea plants for a long time before harvesting, selecting only the most tender tea leaves from the first plucking and careful further processing.
The matcha powder is very finely ground. This means that the powder dissolves easily in water - ideal for matcha beginners. It is also ideal for making healthy matcha ice cream or milkshakes. Just give it a try!

The matcha can also be drunk by beginners without hesitation due to its easy solubility. Normally, a Chasen (茶筅), a matcha whisk made of bamboo, is used. The whisk is used to mix the powder with the water and whisk the matcha until frothy. Alternatively, you can also use a small whisk or milk frother.
Matcha Latte & Co.
Whether in frothed milk, in mush, yogurt or as a smoothie - with this matcha you have a great ingredient that not only gives you an interesting color, but above all a great taste and a lot of healthy benefits.
Storage
The tea comes in a sealed and resealable flavor bag. To make it easier to remove the matcha and to keep it fresh for longer, we recommend our practical matcha tin.
