A Masterclass in Uji Matcha 4 teas. 1 farm. The full spectrum of what Uji matcha can be. From the classic depth of ceremonial Uji matcha to creamy, vibrant and deeply roasted expressions. This collection brings together the 4 distinct personalities of our Uji teas, each made from carefully selected 1st flush tencha and crafted to reveal a different side of Japanese tea. There is KIRI, our expression of the classic Uji profile. MATSU, soft, creamy and naturally sweet. AOI, created to hold its character in milk. And KAEDE, our rare roasted tencha for something warmer and more comforting. Together, they offer a simple way to explore just how different matcha can be. What’s Inside: The 4 Expressions of Uji Each tin holds 30g of the 1st flush harvest, grown organically on our family farm in Wazuka, Uji. 1. KIRI THE UJI CLASSIC · Ceremonial Grade · Single Cultivar - Okumidori KIRI is our expression of the classic Uji character: aromatic, vegetal and deeply umami-rich. Smooth and refined, with gentle natural sweetness and a clean finish, it is made for drinking simply as usucha and appreciating the character of the tea itself.

MATSU THE CREAMY CROWD-PLEASER · Ceremonial Grade · Single Cultivar - Saemidori MATSU is our crowd pleaser, and the reason is in the first sip. Creamy and mellow, with notes of milk chocolate, toasted nuts and mellow sweetness, it is smooth and round with a gentle, clean finish. An especially approachable ceremonial matcha for those who enjoy a softer, sweeter expression.

AOI THE LATTE SPECIALIST · Premium Grade · Okumidori & Yabukita 1st Flush Blend AOI is created for milk.

KAEDE THE RARE ROASTED TENCHA · Hojicha 1st Flush Tencha · Precision Roasted KAEDE begins with the same quality of first-flush tencha, but takes it in a completely different direction.
