Uji Matcha

We only use young leaf buds and grind them into a fine powder in a stone mortar. After brewing, the matcha is still emerald and rich, with a sweet taste and just the right amount of astringency. Desserts and cuisines made with Uji matcha are also very popular. High-quality matcha is often advertised as "Ishiusu Hiki", that is, only ground with a slow-speed stone mill to reduce the heat generated during the process, so as not to damage its unique aroma and flavor.
