Origin Uji Tea Masters Reserve Matcha – Ceremonial Grade, First Harvest, Stone-Ground, Level 10 Blend

Origin Uji brings you a ceremonial-grade matcha drawn from the first harvest in Uji, Kyoto. Each batch is stone-ground monthly to preserve freshness and vibrant color, delivering a clean, bright cup with depth and subtle sweetness. The carefully controlled process helps retain essential oils and a smooth texture that can elevate everyday rituals or special moments.

Craft and Origin

Leaves grown under shade in the historic tea region of Uji are harvested at their peak, then transformed into a powder with traditional granite stone grinding. This monthly grind cadence aims to preserve aroma, brightness, and a refined aroma that hints at the tea’s careful handling from field to cup. The result is a powder that remains lively in appearance and aroma, inviting you to explore its nuanced profile without rushing the experience.

Masterful Craft and Clear Flavor

Developed by a legendary Judan Chashi, a Level 10 Japanese Tea Master, this blend emphasizes clarity, umami depth, and a polished finish. Expect a cup that feels balanced rather than harsh, with a smooth texture that supports both quiet reflection and social moments. The craft behind this matcha aims to offer a refined experience that remains approachable for those new to ceremonial-grade tea and satisfying for seasoned enthusiasts alike.

Versatility for Everyday and Elevated Moments

Designed for flexibility, it shines in traditional usucha as well as richer matcha lattes. Whether you seek a clean, grassy aroma or a comforting, savory undertone with gentle sweetness, this matcha adapts to your mood. Its smooth, rich character avoids bitterness, letting the natural flavors speak clearly in different preparations.
