Experience the purest expression of Japanese green tea with our Uji Matcha Imperial Ceremonial Grade Matcha, sourced directly from Uji, Kyoto - the historic birthplace of Japan’s most revered matcha tradition for over 800 years.

Uji is located on the outskirts of Kyoto, the ancient capital of Japan, and is internationally recognized as one of the most prestigious tea-growing regions in the world. Authentic Uji-cha follows a centuries-old standard: while some tea leaves may be cultivated in neighboring prefectures such as Nara, Shiga, and Mie, the tea must be processed and produced in Kyoto, with Kyoto-grown tea serving as the primary component.

Crafted from the youngest hand-picked leaves of the first flush harvest, our Uji Matcha Imperial represents the highest grade of Usu-cha (thin tea) we offer - traditionally reserved for Japanese tea ceremonies and honored guests.

The tea plants are carefully shade-grown for 30-40 days prior to harvest, a traditional technique that enhances chlorophyll levels, amino acids, sweetness, and the signature umami depth that defines exceptional ceremonial matcha.

Stone-ground in small batches to preserve freshness and nutritional integrity, this premium matcha reveals a vivid emerald green color, velvety texture, and a remarkably smooth, balanced flavor profile with delicate sweetness and minimal bitterness.

Perfect for:

• traditional tea ceremonies
• daily wellness rituals
• matcha lattes
• meditation and mindful mornings
• elevated culinary creations

Rich in antioxidants, naturally occurring L-theanine, and chlorophyll, Uji Matcha Imperial offers calm, focused energy without the crash associated with coffee.

This is ceremonial grade matcha at its purest - crafted with heritage, precision, and deep respect for Japanese tea culture.
