Ujimukashi Matcha
Ujimukashi Matcha evokes the world of traditional uji matches: a refined, pure-character tea in which the fresh aroma of freshly ground tencha and the soft, easy-to-drink texture meet beautifully.
This style is particularly appealing to those who seek balance, clarity, and subtle details in their matcha rather than intensity.
In the cup, it gives a lively, juicy and well-organized impression. On the palate, soft vegetal notes, delicate umami and subdued sweetness form a harmonious whole, while the overall impression of the sip remains smooth and friendly.
It is not heavy, not intrusive: rather calm, soft, clean and elegant.
That's why it can be an excellent choice for everyday matcha when you're looking for a high-quality, ceremonial tea that's easy to love.
Uji matcha with this character works especially well in the form of usucha , when the frothed tea reveals its fresh aromas, silky texture, and pleasantly clean finish.
It is also a particularly good choice for desserts, because the tea's delicate bitterness and green freshness nicely counterbalance the sweetness of the desserts.
Flavor profile
- Scent: freshly ground tea, fresh green aromas
- Taste: soft umami, delicate vegetal notes, slight sweetness
- Texture: smooth, silky, easy to drink
- Finish: clean, tidy, subtly sweet-green
Preparation suggestion (usucha)
Quantity: 1.5–2 g matcha
Water: 70–80 ml
Water temperature: 75–80 °C
Sift the matcha into a preheated bowl and pour over the water. Use a bamboo whisk to whisk it in quick, loose motions until a fine, even foam forms on the surface. It is worth tasting on its own, but it also pairs beautifully with light Japanese sweets or other delicious desserts.
Personal contact
Our teas don't come from wholesale warehouses or unknown sources. We travel to the small producers we source from – whether it's a Japanese family tea garden, a Chinese mountain village or an oolong maker in Taiwan.
Stories
We meet them in person, learn their story, see how they care for their plants, and how they process the fresh leaves.
These experiences are the soul of our teas. This way, not only is the quality guaranteed, but also the fact that behind each cup there is a real person, a real story.
Direct
This direct relationship is valuable to us. Not only because of the excellent tea, but because we believe that trust, respect and personal presence are what make the tea drinking experience truly special.
