An ultra-premium, hand-picked Ujihikari from Shirakawa, Uji — a genuinely rare cultivar, grown in small numbers and seldom found outside Kyoto.
What sets it apart is the sweetness. Ujihikari carries a natural richness so pronounced it reads almost as though sugar had been added, and the colour is remarkably vibrant.
The real test of any matcha is koicha. Prepared thick, where a lesser tea turns harsh, Ujihikari stays virtually free of bitterness — which is why we'd ask you to drink it that way at least once, with nothing added.
