GION Uji Matcha　

Our matcha is made exclusively from high-quality first-flush tea leaves. Using a traditional Japanese cultivation method, the tea plants are shade-grown for 20–30 days prior to harvest, allowing their natural umami and smoothness to fully develop.

Appearance:
A deep, vibrant green color. Finely stone-ground to a smooth, silky texture.

Aroma:
Elegant roasted notes layered with a rich, powerful aroma characteristic of shade-grown tea leaves.

Taste:
A full-bodied, intense umami with remarkable depth.
Clean on the palate with minimal bitterness or astringency, followed by a long, refined finish that reflects the quality of a premium-grade matcha.
