Master Uejima-san’s highest-quality matcha, distinguished by its exceptionally rich and deep umami flavor. To achieve perfect balance, leaves from three tea cultivars are carefully blended: Ujihikari, Samidori, and Gokou.Imperial Matcha comes from the town of Wazuka in the Uji region, crafted by a fifth-generation tea master who is well known in Japan and within the global tea community. This is a rare variety of Ujihikari tea tree. It is particularly appreciated for its natural sweetness and expressive umami, which gives the matcha its richness and a clean, lingering aftertaste. Drawing on years of experience, Master Uejima-san has meticulously combined all three varieties to create a harmonious and subtle flavour structure that is clearly perceptible in every cup. We recommend preparing it with 60°C water to fully reveal its rich umami flavor. It can be prepared either as usucha (thin matcha) or koicha (thick matcha).
