Matcha Seian - Ceremonial grade 20g

Seian – organic Uji matcha in your cup

Seian brings the tradition of Uji, Kyoto: shaded tencha leaves, ground in a traditional stone mill into a silky, homogeneous powder. The first sip opens with clean, full umami and creamy sweetness, and the finish is long and fresh and clean - a balance that is both festive and comforting.

Why is it special?

• Uji, the historical home of matcha: the region's centuries-old knowledge, climate and processing traditions give it its special depth and balance.
• Shaded tencha, stone-milled: shading before harvest enhances L-theanine and umami; gentle, slow grinding gives a silky texture.
• Organic (JAS) certification: Seian is JAS certified organic; the JAS standard has been recognized by the EU since 2010, so it also complies with EU organic principles.
• Ujii family house: Rishouen was founded in 1947, with Ujii roots and local producer connections; Seian is the fruit of this careful selection.
