Uji no Mori Matcha Green Tea, 30g, from Wazuka

A calm, smooth Japanese matcha inspired by the shaded tea gardens of Uji and Wazuka. Uji no Mori is Samidori-forward, with soft nuttiness, deep umami, a thick body, and minimal bitterness. It feels rounded, composed, and elegant on the palate. Where Tenmyo is bold and complex, Uji no Mori is smoother, calmer, and more balanced. Origin & Cultivar Origin: Wazuka, Kyoto Uji no Mori comes from Wazuka, one of Kyoto’s most respected tea-growing regions, known for its misty hills, shaded tea fields, and deep connection to Uji matcha culture. A carefully balanced selection of Samidori, Kyōken-283, Sayamakaori, Meiryoku, Saemidori, and others. Producer: Uji no Mori is crafted by Naoki-san from the Kagata family, a descendant of a long line of tea farmers rooted in Uji’s tea culture. As a Level 8 Tea Master, one of only two in Kyoto, Naoki-san brings exceptional expertise to the creation of this matcha. His craft lies not only in selecting fine tencha, but in understanding balance, texture, aroma, and finish. Taste: Uji no Mori has the quiet depth of a high-quality Uji matcha. It is rich and umami-led, but never sharp or aggressive. The texture is thick and satisfying, with a gentle weight on the tongue. The finish is smooth, balanced, and elegant, almost like a fine red wine. Best Enjoyed as: Usucha Straight Iced matcha Iced matcha cortado For lattes, use around 1.5x your usual matcha serving. Its low bitterness allows the flavour to stay smooth, even at a stronger dose. How it compares: Tenmyo is bold, aromatic, and expressive.
