From Uji hills,
by hand.

Our matcha comes from a single family estate in Uji, a region just south of Kyoto that has grown tea for over 800 years. Three generations of the same family run the farm — picking the leaves themselves, shading the plants the old way, milling on granite mills that turn slow enough to keep the leaf cool.

This Organic grade comes from the second harvest, picked a little later in the season. Rounder, more forgiving, gentler under milk — it's the matcha you reach for every single morning, not just for special occasions.

From farm to tin, every step is hands-on. Nothing is rushed. Nothing is blended away.

Common questions.

Same estate, different harvests. Ceremonial uses only the first-harvest leaves — softest, most umami-rich, built to be drunk straight from the bowl. Organic uses the second harvest — rounder, slightly more toasted, designed to hold its own under milk in lattes or in baking.
Sealed, cool, and away from light. The tin is designed for it. Once opened, drink within 4 — 6 weeks for peak colour and flavour. Don't refrigerate while sealed — condensation will dull the leaf.
For everyday lattes and iced matcha, a small electric frother or a shaker works great. A bamboo chasen is lovely if you want the traditional ritual, but it's not essential for daily use. We sell starter sets — see the Drinkware section.
The estate works without synthetic pesticides or fertilisers, in line with traditional Uji farming. Formal organic certification is in process — but the practice has been organic for three generations.
A standard serving (2g) contains around 60 — 70 mg of caffeine — roughly two-thirds of an espresso. The L-theanine in matcha balances the lift, so the energy lands slower and steadier than coffee.
