composed of many cultivars. Historically, matcha has always been blended. Single-cultivar or single-origin matcha is a modern, non-traditional practice that was popularized largely in part by Ooika. In Japan, single-cultivar matcha is not considered a finished product, but a raw ingredient like flour before it becomes bread. Chashi are master blenders that are licensed across up to ten ranks, with only 13 individuals ever reaching the 10th rank. Their role is to create and maintain the aroma, flavor, and price of their blends. This is a monumental task given the base material changes every harvest. Single Cultivar Matcha is like science, where blended Matcha is an artform. For this reason, Ooika does not create its own blends, nor do we disclose cultivar breakdowns for blended matcha. A blend is not a recipe to be itemized or reverse-engineered. Attempting to construct a blend arbitrarily or to dissect one into components may be well-intended but is ultimately disrespectful to the Chashi and their efforts. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5ebb596b6bb4de0f008e7352/5fd2eb00-95db-4e9e-8b50-a4e55a9dc0d6/Kageyama+Uji+Kyoto Shop - Electra - Kageyama, Uji, Kyoto, Japan The rich tea tradition of Kyoto Prefecture has its roots in the Kamakura period, with origins that extend even further back in history. Since then, the prefecture has embraced and woven tea into its core identity, spreading its cultivation to many areas. Over the centuries, tea has lived in zen monasteries and ritual offerings to tea guessing games known as Tocha 闘茶 and crystallizing in the now-known Japanese tea ceremony for both Matcha and Sencha, whose production happened in Uji, south of the at-the-time capital of Japan, Kyoto. The fame of Uji tea spread out from the Muromachi period, with its many cultural developments, which set the framework of what would become the foundations of the Japanese tea ceremony. Uji City is located in the southern part of Kyoto Prefecture, in the Yamashiro region, an area known for its temperature swings between day and night. This temperature gradient is in part responsible for the aroma development of the tea plant, with other famous tea-producing regions sharing traits with those of some of Uji's terroirs. Kageyama, part of Uji City, is located east of Ogura, which was home until the 1930s to the largest freshwater body of the prefecture. Kageyama, just in between the Ogura Lake and the Uji River, benefited from the aforementioned temperature swings, with beneficial mists originating from those water bodies, which also play a key role as temperature regulators and keeping frost at bay in many cases. The ever-shining available land in Uji makes tea cultivation in Kageyama extremely rare. Shimizu-san, with its fields at the heart of Kageyama, keeps the traditional rice straw cultivation alive just next door to much of the infrastructure of Uji City. A unique terroir still connects to tradition and the taste of the once-sprawling tea cultivation in the area. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5ebb596b6bb4de0f008e7352/16bbf7e1-1a37-4682-9e9f-f8c3e96c1411/Matcha+Safety Shop - Electra - Ministry of Health, Labor and WelfarE As one of the healthiest nations in the world, Japan enforces exceptionally strict standards for radioactive substances, heavy metals, and pesticide residues in all food products, including matcha.

Solaris is Ooika’s first blend, crafted with discernment in Uji, Kyoto, Japan. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5ebb596b6bb4de0f008e7352/2e916a3c-d440-47b8-91bf-596708a1cdc7/Blended+Matcha Shop - Solaris - Blend (合組) This matcha is a traditional Japanese blend, composed of many cultivars. Historically, matcha has always been blended. Single-cultivar or single-origin matcha is a modern, non-traditional practice that was popularized largely in part by Ooika. In Japan, single-cultivar matcha is not considered a finished product, but a raw ingredient like flour before it becomes bread. Chashi are master blenders that are licensed across up to ten ranks, with only 13 individuals ever reaching the 10th rank. Their role is to create and maintain the aroma, flavor, and price of their blends. This is a monumental task given the base material changes every harvest. Single Cultivar Matcha is like science, where blended Matcha is an artform. For this reason, Ooika does not create its own blends, nor do we disclose cultivar breakdowns for blended matcha. A blend is not a recipe to be itemized or reverse-engineered. Attempting to construct a blend arbitrarily or to dissect one into components may be well-intended but is ultimately disrespectful to the Chashi and their efforts. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5ebb596b6bb4de0f008e7352/f3f3e9cc-84f1-4001-96cc-2ab1a003be69/Uji+Kyoto Shop - Solaris - Uji, Kyoto, Japan No city in Japan holds more relevance to Matcha than Uji City, Kyoto, Japan. Along side the Ujigawa river, nutrients from lake Biwa flow and enrich the sandy, well-draining soil. Morning fog rises above the river diffusing the sun. The end result? An exceptional tea terroir that birthed Matcha itself. Tea in Kyoto began sometime after 1191 when buddhist Monk Eisai returned from China. The first bush was planted in Hakata, Fukuoka, Japan. After about 10 years, the plant was dug-up and moved to Kozan-ji temple in Kyoto, under the care of the monk Myoe. The original tea garden at Kozan-ji still exists today, where it is tended to by the farmer Yoshidaさん. Tea cultivation at Kozan-ji temple became, and eventually spread to other regions within Kyoto. Initially, gambling games were played for the nobility to guess if the tea was Honcha “real tea” from Kozan-ji, or Hicha “fake tea” from anywhere else – including Uji. Over time, tastes changed. Uji city’s tea had such a delicious reputation that soon it was allowed to be considered “Honcha” as well. In the 16th century as Sen no Rikyu entered the stage and began codifying the Japanese tea ceremony, Uji was already a powerhouse in reputation. Matcha itself was developed in Uji, which is a wholly distinct product from “Mo Cha”, or “ground tea” from China. It was in Uji that such as Oishita (grown under shading), and Tencha (steamed, unrolled tea) came to be. Today, Ujicha has become synonymous with excellent Matcha. What many don’t know is that the Ministry of Agriculture, Forestry and Fisheries (MAFF) defines Uji-cha not as tea that is grown in Uji, but rather that is finished there. This makes tea grown in Uji itself exceptionally rare, accounting for less than 0.04% of the Japanese tea industry. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5ebb596b6bb4de0f008e7352/16bbf7e1-1a37-4682-9e9f-f8c3e96c1411/Matcha+Safety Shop - Solaris - Ministry of Health, Labor and WelfarE As one of the healthiest nations in the world, Japan enforces exceptionally strict standards for radioactive substances, heavy metals, and pesticide residues in all food products, including matcha.

It belongs to the Yamashiro region, Kyoto Prefecture. This region lives and breathes tea; cultivation started around the 14th century, with its introduction sometime in much earlier centuries. It has seen many developments during its 800 years of tea cultivation, including the birth of techniques leading to Tencha, Sencha, and Gyokuro teas. Shirakawa is in the southern part of Uji city proper, its slopes leading to the Uji River, which is born from the nearby Amagase Dam. Thanks to the nearby water bodies, which also regulate temperature, the area benefits from valley-ruining mists, especially in spring. Shirakawa is one of the few areas left where Uji City-grown tea is produced. This tea is labeled as Uji no Ocha 宇治のお茶, an exceptional and increasingly rare tea. A tea related, but disconnected from the much more known Uji tea brand, Ujicha 宇治茶. Born from tea processed in Uji, from inside the prefecture, and elsewhere. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5ebb596b6bb4de0f008e7352/6282fea5-e21a-48c9-9de3-3ded45a026c1/Matcha+Safety.jpg Shop - Celaeno (USA Milled) - Ministry of Health, Labor and Welfare (MHLW) Requirements As one of the healthiest nations in the world, Japan enforces exceptionally strict standards for radioactive substances, heavy metals, and pesticide residues in all food products, including matcha.

Okumidori Matcha - Kurazumiさん Hoshino - Kurazumiさん “The sweeter and more delicious the leaves are to us humans, the more the bugs will like it too,” Kurazumiさん remarked. “High risk, low return.” Like houses, the price is limited to the neighborhood. More difficult cultivation techniques don’t result in higher profits, and often the opposite. Inquiring on some topics over the phone, Kurazumiさん once said to me “百聞は一見に如かず ひゃくぶんはいっけんにしかず (Seeing once is better than hearing a hundred times.) To know Matcha is to be there, in the fields, breathing the dew and feeling the strands of spider web against your knees that bisect the bushes. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5ebb596b6bb4de0f008e7352/13361319-8af3-484c-b119-aae94156ec9f/_DSC0628.jpg Shop - Okumidori Matcha - Kurazumiさん Hoshino - Okumidori (おくみどり) Okumidori, originally a Sencha cultivar, is a vigorous late-growing cultivar commonly used for Tencha production. Its;’ approachable, round, and balanced flavor has captivated many when tasting stone-ground Matcha for the first time. Bred in the Shizuoka prefecture and registered in 1974, Okumidori is a common cultivar found in several growing terroirs across Japan. Its’ vigorous growth creates densely packed, shiny, dark green leaves during spring. Okumidori is a delicious, high-yielding cultivar with a more wide-ranging harvesting period than others. Due to its’ late harvest time, farmers often plant Okumidori to “stagger out” their harvests. This allows the shading for Tencha to be developed for a longer period and reduces the pressure on the farmers during the peak of the spring harvest. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5ebb596b6bb4de0f008e7352/e362f1bb-38a2-4d8d-a9c2-6e1e95f265b4/Map-Yame.png Shop - Okumidori Matcha - Kurazumiさん Hoshino - Hoshinomura, Yame, Fukuoka, Japan With over 600 years of tea growing, Yame is relatively new when compared to Uji’s 800 year history.

This is especially true for Gyokuro, a loose leaf tea that is shaded before harvesting as Tencha (unground Matcha) is. Gyokuro is typically considered the most prestigious category of Japanese tea. Within Yame is a mountain side is known collectively as Oku‑Yame 奥八女, which includes Kurogi, Joyo, Yabe, and Hoshino. Hoshinomura, or village of the stars, sits in the basin with the Hoshino river cutting through it. It is a pristine terroir, with waterfalls, the dense canopy of trees and thick fog. The region also holds official GI documentation for Yame Dentou Hon Gyokuro. Tea in Hoshino is traced at least to the Muromachi period, where it is believed to have arrived from Reiganji temple nearby in Kurogi. By the Meiji Era, a local to the area brought Gyokuro production back from Uji and started production around 1904. Producers in Hoshino-muro focus primarily on Gyokuro, but some do produce Tencha (unground Matcha.) Hoshino-mura also holds the distinction of having the second old Tencha factory in Japan, owned by Kurazumisさん. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5ebb596b6bb4de0f008e7352/9b939fd7-6c8d-41ab-bef4-20607d70beb3/MSKSHF22OK%2B-%2BMatcha%2BPowder.jpg Shop - Okumidori Matcha - Kurazumiさん Hoshino - Make it stand out Whatever it is, the way you tell your story online can make all the difference. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5ebb596b6bb4de0f008e7352/b4ed7ece-c37b-4741-ad1f-287667e7181b/MSKSHF22OK%2B-%2BMatcha%2BBowl.jpg Shop - Okumidori Matcha - Kurazumiさん Hoshino - Make it stand out Whatever it is, the way you tell your story online can make all the difference. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5ebb596b6bb4de0f008e7352/ccfbac0c-3878-41fc-92f0-d782266a8a8d/Matcha+Safety.jpg Shop - Okumidori Matcha - Kurazumiさん Hoshino - Ministry of Health, Labor and Welfare As one of the healthiest nations in the world, Japan enforces exceptionally strict standards for radioactive substances, heavy metals, and pesticide residues in all food products, including matcha.

In addition to cultivating high-grade tea, Yoshidan protects the legacy of Uji tea as a whole. Some other notable achievements or responsibilities of the Yoshida family include: Caring for Japan’s oldest tea garden at Kosanji: Yoshidaさん has the incredible responsibility of managing the oldest tea garden in Japan at the Kosanji Temple (高山寺) in Kyoto, as did his father (15th generation) and grandfather (14th generation.) 20x 1st Place National Tea Competition Wins: The “Superbowl” of Japanese tea is the National Tea competition that’s been continuing for the last 75 years. The Yoshida family has participated in every year’s competition since its inception and holds over 20 first-place titles. Chairman of the Uji Tea Hand-Rolling Preservation Association: In ancient times, tea leaves were rolled by hand. Today commercial tea rolling is done exclusively by machine in Japan. Yoshidaさん presides as chairman of the association to ensure this ancient technique and tradition is not forgotten. In fact, Yoshidaさん’s grandfather's method of hand-rolling tea was certified by the Japanese government as an intangible cultural property. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5ebb596b6bb4de0f008e7352/64c53720-d598-43c8-bb07-c9bce8e92f56/image4.jpg Shop - Samidori Matcha - Yoshidaさん Ogura Uji - Yoshidaさん Few names in Uji carry the weight of Yoshida. The family’s involvement in Uji tea traces back over 400 years - nearly as far back as Tea master Sen no Rikyū elevated the tea ceremony to an art. The history of high-grade Matcha that has made Uji a household word across the world can hardly be separated from the Yoshida family name. Ooika is thrilled to mill Yoshidaさん’s heritage Matcha fresh, right here in the United States. The family hand-picks the tea (known as Tezumi), shades the tea using traditional rice straw (known as Honzu Tana), uses Bamboo rather than metal sorting tools, and even grows their own rice to provide the material for shading. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5ebb596b6bb4de0f008e7352/7fdc70ac-abc8-402d-8f20-7e3f7b3a92c1/samidori.jpg Shop - Samidori Matcha - Yoshidaさん Ogura Uji - Samidori (さみどり) Samidori (さみどり) is another privately selected tea cultivar. Mr. Masajiro Koyama selected it from seed-grown trees (known as Zairai) in the 1930s. It has since become a staple in the Kyoto prefecture and a popular cultivar for Tezumi, the traditional hand-picking method. It’s shoots are brightly colored, glossy, and have an excellent fresh fragrance. Its upright shape, together with a wide range of harvesting times, makes it easier for the Chazumi (tea pickers) to go through the tea bushes multiple times, selecting only the best leaves for that day. The Tencha from Samidori produces Matcha with low bitterness, a dark green color, gentle sweetness, and floral undertones. Its deep, clean, and mild umami flavor will make you want to whisk another bowl. High yield and flexible harvest times means this cultivar is quite popular and affordable. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5ebb596b6bb4de0f008e7352/90441dd8-e870-4433-9641-246123c43c74/image2.jpg Shop - Samidori Matcha - Yoshidaさん Ogura Uji - Yoshida Matcha, and Rice Just beyond the tea farm is a rice plantation, planted by the Yoshida family. The purpose? To provide the rice straw needed to shade tea. They gave me a bag of brown rice on my visit from the field.

The seedlings, born from the connection with Zen Buddhism, would crystallize many centuries later in a unique and profound act of intentionality, the Japanese tea ceremony, with many of its roots in the Kyoto prefecture. Uji, south of Kyoto city, eventually became an important production center for Tencha. In our times, Uji is one of the world’s best-known terroirs for Matcha. With the Uji river traversing the area and providing moisture and highly beneficial mists, it held the center of Tencha production in Japan. Moreover, most of the land immediately northwest of Uji, right next to Ogura 小倉町, was home to the largest freshwater body in the prefecture. The Ogura Lake existed until the 30s - 40s when land reclamation converted the area for agricultural use, which benefited from its nutrient-rich soil. While other production areas inside the prefecture have taken the baton in terms of cultivation, the Ujicha 宇治茶 brand remains one of the most recognizable tea brands in Japan. Born from tea processed in Uji, from inside the prefecture and elsewhere. Ogura is considered the birthplace of Gyokuro, although its tea cultivation history extends back even further. Keeping alive the tradition of cultivating tea under straw shading, with reed screens and straw for the roof and bamboo or other logs for pillars. Such is their connection to much earlier times that a 16th-generation family, with Yoshida-san at its forefront, has been tasked with the care of the Kozanji temple tea fields. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5ebb596b6bb4de0f008e7352/bae7f0c9-4991-4bd9-93ff-b6260f54c96e/Matcha%2BSafety.webp Shop - Samidori Matcha - Yoshidaさん Ogura Uji - Ministry of Health, Labor and Welfare As one of the healthiest nations in the world, Japan enforces exceptionally strict standards for radioactive substances, heavy metals, and pesticide residues in all food products, including matcha.

Zairai (在来) Zairai (在来) is a term for tea bushes grown from seeds, rather than from clippings (which are cultivar clones.) Zairai (在来) is highly unusual for Japanese tea—especially so for Matcha. There are a few reasons why: First, Zairai (在来) bushes are chaotic and unpredictable. Farmers cannot estimate the correct harvest time, unlike clones, which are consistent from season to season. Being genetically individual, the Zairai (在来) will have different aromas, flavors, yields, and properties. The primary goal of most Matcha manufacturers, excluding the rather unconventional Ooika, is to ensure that a Matcha blend will taste the same from year to year. This is a task made impossible with wild-grown Zairai (在来) bushes. The result is Zairai are usually only kept out of the sentimentality of the farmers who keep them, rather than for large-scale economic reasons. Ooika’s relationship with Morisakiさん has allowed us to commission some wild Zairai bushes on his property to be turned into Tencha (unground Matcha), which we have stone-mill into Matcha in the USA. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5ebb596b6bb4de0f008e7352/6ce0d650-815c-4974-a59f-e17bc520ea33/Ryo+Portrait.jpg Shop - Wild Zairai Matcha - Morisakiさん Wazuka. 20g - Morisakiさん Tokyo-born, IT/Environmental engineer turned tea farmer, Morisakiさん. Many of the native tea plants, known as Zairai (在来) in his garden are over a century old. This is very uncommon, as old bush trees produce less tea, and are less attractive on the commercial market.

The prefecture, once home to the capital of Japan before the Meiji Restoration, is still one of its most important cultural and traditional cores. Its ties to Matcha find many of its roots inside the prefecture, from temples like Daitokuji or the now-expansive city of Uji, where tea cultivation and its aesthetic practice have lived for centuries. The Yamashiro region holds most of the producing areas in the prefecture, which also is home to the famous Uji city, where most of the tea produced in the prefecture gets processed and sold under one of the most recognizable tea brands in Japan, the Ujicha 宇治茶 brand. The biggest producer in the prefecture is Wazuka, nestled in the valley’s southern valleys of the Yamashiro region. Wazuka, recognized in 2013 as one of the most beautiful villages in Japan, is renowned for its tea production. Although it is a well-known area among tea professionals and aficionados, it remains rather unknown even to some locals in the prefecture. The village is situated in a stretched valley leading to the Kizu River and began producing tea during the Kamakura period. Wazuka is home to approximately 550 hectares of cultivated tea land, which is primarily found on its many steep slopes. The few flat areas are reserved for rice paddies and village buildings. Once a center for Sencha production, Wazuka has become a powerhouse for Tencha since the Meiji period and the subsequent development of Uji city, which pushed tea production to other areas of the prefecture. https://ooika.co/shop/p/kubo-shirotake-chashaku-takayama monthly 0.5 2026-01-30 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5ebb596b6bb4de0f008e7352/1698363870221-DCPVR7MIHH0R6OMHCOR2/CSKKIK001+Chashaku+-+White+-+Front_web.jpg Shop -

Refreshing. Persimmon. Direct and vivid saturation that foams well. Aroma has a touch of Hii, a toasty aroma, that comes from an additional toasting step done with Yamecha (八女茶), or tea from Yame, Fukuoka, Japan. As a dry powder, the savory Nori scent is dominant, which relaxes into sweet dried fruit, nearly persimisson once water is added to the tea. Texturally, the Matcha has a polished broad shoulder, which drapes like damp wool down the edges of the tongue. The flavor is fresh, green, botanical, and politely sweet - characteristic of the Saemidori cultivar itself. It reminds me of wild forested honey. When brewed as Usucha, the experience is refreshing and quenching, packing a lot of complexity. Part of the advantage of Honzu, or Rice straw shading, is the tea plants are kept cooler - thus growing slower with more complexity. This concept of cooler tea plants, growing slower, is not exclusive to Matcha - but is also the case with the most legendary Chinese heirloom teas. Excess heat speeds up the plants’ metabolism, reducing the final complexity. Honzu increases the quality of the Matcha, but at a substantial cost: the labor, time, and expenses to traditionally shade tea with natural materials are vast when compared to the black plastic tarps known as Kanreisha that are typically used. https://ooika.co/shop/p/asahi-matcha-micro-terroir-uji monthly 0.5 2026-02-08 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5ebb596b6bb4de0f008e7352/1708448125526-0GACBUV6BF2FMG49SC5G/MSFSGK23UJ+-+Furukawa+Ujihikari+Gokasho+Uji+-++Matcha+Powder_web.jpg Shop - Asahi Matcha - Micro-Terroir Uji - ooika - asahi matcha https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5ebb596b6bb4de0f008e7352/1719856360362-R6SRIXLODETAN2V45Q6W/MSFSGK23UJ%2B-%2BFurukawa%2BUjihikari%2BGokasho%2BUji%2B-%2B%2BMatcha%2BUsucha_web.jpg Shop - Asahi Matcha - Micro-Terroir Uji - ooika - asahi matcha https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5ebb596b6bb4de0f008e7352/0955669c-b9a7-4372-9c27-a4bf1888216a/Matcha+Farmer+Uji Shop - Asahi Matcha - Micro-Terroir Uji - Redacted This producer has requested that Ooika not share their details. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5ebb596b6bb4de0f008e7352/0c2024b6-b941-4045-adce-e87f8532a093/Asahi+Matcha Shop - Asahi Matcha - Micro-Terroir Uji - ASAHI (あさひ) An exceptional Tencha cultivar, renowned for its exceptional taste, color, and captivating aroma. Mr. Jinnojo Hirano selected it from a seed-grown field in Kyoto Prefecture in the early 1930s. The Kyoto Prefectural Tea Research Institute released it in 1954. Despite its remarkable qualities, it has never been officially registered as a cultivar. Nonetheless, it has earned the nickname King of Matcha, and it is often showcased in competition teas. Notoriously challenging to cultivate, it has an upright shape, creating a low volume of leaves that adds to its low yield. Asahi performs exceptionally well under shading, with bright green, thin, and long leaves. Honzu shading and meticulous hand-picking result in an exceptional Tencha. Its low-yield characteristics pose a challenge to the tea pickers, the Chazumi, who are paid by weight. According to Sakataさん, 1 kg of freshly picked tea leaves “probably” creates less than 60 grams of final Matcha. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5ebb596b6bb4de0f008e7352/4e0c1f3e-0023-402e-9d1c-fa53b1e7f5c4/uji.jpg Shop - Asahi Matcha - Micro-Terroir Uji - Uji, Kyoto, Japan No city in Japan holds more relevance to Matcha than Uji City, Kyoto, Japan. Along side the Ujigawa river, nutrients from lake Biwa flow and enrich the sandy, well-draining soil. Morning fog rises above the river diffusing the sun. The end result? An exceptional tea terroir that birthed Matcha itself. Tea in Kyoto began sometime after 1191 when buddhist Monk Eisai returned from China. The first bush was planted in Hakata, Fukuoka, Japan. After about 10 years, the plant was dug-up and moved to Kozan-ji temple in Kyoto, under the care of the monk Myoe. The original tea garden at Kozan-ji still exists today, where it is tended to by the farmer Yoshidaさん. Tea cultivation at Kozan-ji temple became, and eventually spread to other regions within Kyoto. Initially, gambling games were played for the nobility to guess if the tea was Honcha “real tea” from Kozan-ji, or Hicha “fake tea” from anywhere else – including Uji. Over time, tastes changed. Uji city’s tea had such a delicious reputation that soon it was allowed to be considered “Honcha” as well. In the 16th century as Sen no Rikyu entered the stage and began codifying the Japanese tea ceremony, Uji was already a powerhouse in reputation. Matcha itself was developed in Uji, which is a wholly distinct product from “Mo Cha”, or “ground tea” from China. It was in Uji that such as Oishita (grown under shading), and Tencha (steamed, unrolled tea) came to be. Today, Ujicha has become synonymous with excellent Matcha. What many don’t know is that the Ministry of Agriculture, Forestry and Fisheries (MAFF) defines Uji-cha not as tea that is grown in Uji, but rather that is finished there. This makes tea grown in Uji itself exceptionally rare, accounting for less than 0.04% of the Japanese tea industry. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5ebb596b6bb4de0f008e7352/6546bd5c-827b-479d-a959-27762db7a0cb/matcha+safety.jpg Shop - Asahi Matcha - Micro-Terroir Uji - Ministry of Health, Labor and Welfare As one of the healthiest nations in the world, Japan enforces exceptionally strict standards for radioactive substances, heavy metals, and pesticide residues in all food products, including matcha.

This distinctive scent is known as “Ooika”, or the “Aroma of Shadows.” Ujihikari has one of the most beautiful expressions of Ooika. This uncommon and highly sought-after cultivar was selected from a Zairai field in 1954 by the Kyoto Tea Research Institute and has been cultivated within Kyoto Prefecture ever since. Its erect shape makes it ideal for handpicking. Ujihikari produces a bright green, mild-umami Matcha, although it has a low production volume. One of the most beautiful characteristics of Ujihikari is its bright green, small, wavy leaves. This is a challenge for tea pickers, who take great care with such small leaves when harvesting the Ujihikari glossy and soft spring leaves. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5ebb596b6bb4de0f008e7352/ee32c7e8-9d82-42c8-8b86-5b9c0f57f0c5/Yamazaki-in-tea-field.jpg Shop - Ujihikari Matcha - Yamazakiさん Gokasho Uji - Yamazakiさん Ooika is thrilled to offer this exceptionally rare and historic Matcha, from the fields of Yamazakiさん in Gokasho Oyagijima, Uji, Kyoto. Every year, Japan holds the annual National Tea Competition (全国茶品評会基本要綱) which judges 7 teas across 8 different categories. This year (2023) marked the 77th year of the competition, held in Yame City, Fukuoka to celebrate the 600th anniversary of tea production in Yame from between 22nd-25th of August. The importance of this event can not be understated. Yamazakiさん was this year’s first-place winner in the first category for the Tencha (Unground Matcha) division for his Ujihikari cultivar, which achieved a perfect score. Through a chance meeting after a conversation with another Uji farmer we source from, we were introduced to Yamazakiさん and enjoyed a bowl of Matcha at his family home. Ooika was allowed to purchase Tencha from the very field that won this year’s first place in the National Tea Competition. Never before has Yamazakiさん’s single-estate Tencha made it to the United States. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5ebb596b6bb4de0f008e7352/53431411-43a1-4ee2-9c8e-5af611a45af6/Map-Uji.png Shop - Ujihikari Matcha - Yamazakiさん Gokasho Uji - Gokasho, Uji, Kyoto, Japan Kyoto city has a long-established relationship with tea, with numerous historical and cultural developments. As home to the artistic and intellectual, Japan’s culture and identity was shaped here. Being a city nestled within mountains and far away from the sea, many essential products needed to be brought into Kyoto from the nearby areas of Lake Biwa, Uji, Kizu, and Tamba-Sasayama. Traveling monks and merchants would bring tea, the precious cargo from China, where its links to Zen Buddhism – and tea – originated. In fact, Kozanji Temple (north of Uji) was among the first grounds to grow tea in Japan. In that period, cultivation happened mostly inside temples. The Uji area has seen a lot of transformations over the centuries, from hosting Heian aristocrats’ villas in the Heian period to being one of the boat transportation arteries for goods. Together with the Kizu River, they delivered goods to Kyoto and the Kobe-Osaka bay ports, where exports happened. It also saw the birth of an incipient tea agriculture in the Kamakura period, which developed the shading techniques for Tencha production in the late 16th century. From there, Uji became an unparalleled production area and a highly sought-after terroir for Matcha. In particular, the Gokasho area, on the east side of the Uji River, is also home to the Manpukiji temple, where monks popularized leaf tea in contrast to powdered tea common in other sects. The key to Gokasho was its fan-shaped, gently sloped, sandy terrain leading to the Uji River, with some fields still existing just next to the riverbed. The area also benefited from the mists, humidity, and protection of the Uji River. Most importantly, Gokasho was prime land for the processing facilities and warehouses responsible for producing the highly sought-after tea of Uji and distributing it to the Capital or elsewhere. Like in other areas of Uji City, the land available for tea cultivation is shrinking as urban expansion continues. Matcha grown in Gokasho is exceptionally rare and both a historical and delicious experience. https://ooika.co/shop/p/saemidori-matcha-shimizu-kageyama-uji monthly 0.5 2026-03-11 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5ebb596b6bb4de0f008e7352/5f37315b-fec8-430b-98f1-6ed52298bcc2/MSSMKU23SE+-+Shimizu+Saemidori+Kageyama+-+Matcha+Powder_web.jpg Shop - Saemidori Matcha - Shimizuさん Kageyama Uji https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5ebb596b6bb4de0f008e7352/6f3ab12b-a325-47f7-b376-a1276635773f/MSSMKU23SE+-+Shimizu+Saemidori+Kageyama+-+Matcha+Usucha_web.jpg Shop - Saemidori Matcha - Shimizuさん Kageyama Uji https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5ebb596b6bb4de0f008e7352/2e3cec2f-fc00-4d85-b132-88f6f465fb3c/_DSC1848.jpg Shop - Saemidori Matcha - Shimizuさん Kageyama Uji 2021 - 73rd Kansai Tea Competition First Place 2017 - 70th Kansai Tea Competition First Place 2002 - 1st place at the 55th Kansai Tea Competition 2001 - 54th Kansai Tea Competition First Place 1998 - 51st Kansai Tea Competition First Place 1998 - 52nd National Tea Fair First Prize 1997 - 51st National Tea Fair First Prize 1989 - 42nd Kansai Tea Competition First Place 1988 - 42nd National Tea Fair First Prize 1986 - 40th National Tea Competition 1st Prize 1986 - 39th Kansai Tea Competition First Place 1985 - 38th Kansai Tea Competition First Place https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5ebb596b6bb4de0f008e7352/c330155a-bd5f-4e6d-80b5-0e4f984dbb34/_DSC2006.jpg Shop - Saemidori Matcha - Shimizuさん Kageyama Uji - Shimizuさん 9th-generation Uji farmer, and one of his 10th-generation sons holding a framed photo of the late 8th generation.

Mr. Masajiro Koyama selected it from seed-grown trees, known as Zairai, in the 1930s. It has become a staple in the Kyoto prefecture and a popular cultivar for Tezumi, the traditional hand-picking method. Its shoots are brightly coloured, glossy, and have an excellent fresh fragrance. Its upright shape, together with a wide range of harvesting times, makes it easier for the chazumi, the tea pickers, to go through the tea bushes multiple times, selecting only the best leaves for that day. The Tencha from Samidori produces Matcha with low bitterness, a dark green color, gentle sweetness, and floral undertones. Its deep, clean, and mild umami flavor will make you want to whisk another bowl. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5ebb596b6bb4de0f008e7352/c1d6a0c4-5218-4882-bc03-a26c4554a8ea/_DSC0717.jpg Shop - Samidori Matcha - Sakataさん Hamadai Uji - Sakataさん A 5th generation farmer, Sakataさん has already passed some of the responsibilities of his farm to his son, such as maintaining the reed-straw shading.

Much to say about the bridge itself, but for now let’s focus on the Matcha! The Basin itself has been used for cultivating tea for over 350 years. That tradition is carried on today by the Sakata family. “Hama-cha” has been valued highly and used as a source of high-quality Uji matcha for more than 350 years. A Suitable Terroir The region itself produces excellent tea for many reasons. Firstly, the fog from the river acts as a natural diffuser from the sun. The river feeds nutrients to the plants, which grow in sandy soil (appropriate for draining, which is good for the tea plants.) In the dryer and hot months, the cooling water is present even if water becomes less available (and thus more expensive for other farmers with less direct access.) Tea plants prefer slightly acidic soil. Typically, synthetic chemicals are used to achieve this - though Sakataさん instead uses natural methods (such as human-grade food products) to achieve acidity. In fact, Sakata once said to me that the region, in its 350 years, has not once used synthetic materials. For those interested in more natural Matcha, this point would be compelling. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5ebb596b6bb4de0f008e7352/1712942493468-EBO6NVQKJCZWRJQ4RGXE/2024.04.12+-+Sakata+Saemidori+2023+-+Powder.jpg Shop - Samidori Matcha - Sakataさん Hamadai Uji - 2023 Vintage Sweet.

Excellent Matcha is made from unground tea leaves that can survive heavy shading while remaining thin and soft. Asahi fits the bill on all three counts. However, the bush has a shallow root structure and low volume potential, making it a fickle cultivar to harvest and keep healthy. Tea pickers, known as Chazumi, are paid by weight. Due to the low volume of the Asahi bush, this can be challenging. According to Sakataさん, 1 kg of freshly picked tea leaves “probably” creates less than 60 grams of final Matcha. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5ebb596b6bb4de0f008e7352/6b368070-3e19-4222-bd9e-64d5edeade16/_DSC8723+copy.jpg Shop - Asahi Matcha - Sakataさん Hamadai Uji - Sakataさん A 5th generation farmer from Hamadai, Uji, Kyoto—one of the richest and most renowned terroirs within Japan.

Mr. Jinnojo Hirano selected it from a seed-grown field in Kyoto Prefecture in the early 1930s. The Kyoto Prefectural Tea Research Institute released it in 1954. Despite its remarkable qualities, it has never been officially registered as a cultivar. Nonetheless, it has earned the nickname King of Matcha, and it is often showcased in competition teas. Notoriously challenging to cultivate, it has an upright shape, creating a low volume of leaves that adds to its low yield. Asahi performs exceptionally well under shading, with bright green, thin, and long leaves. Honzu shading and meticulous hand-picking result in an exceptional Tencha. Its low-yield characteristics pose a challenge to the tea pickers, the Chazumi, who are paid by weight.

Since then, the prefecture has embraced and woven tea into its core identity, spreading its cultivation to many areas. Over the centuries, tea has lived in zen monasteries and ritual offerings to tea guessing games known as Tocha 闘茶 and crystallizing in the now-known Japanese tea ceremony for both Matcha and Sencha, whose production happened in Uji, south of the at-the-time capital of Japan, Kyoto. The fame of Uji tea spread out from the Muromachi period, with its many cultural developments, which set the framework of what would become the foundations of the Japanese tea ceremony. Uji City is located in the southern part of Kyoto Prefecture, in the Yamashiro region, an area known for its temperature swings between day and night. This temperature gradient is in part responsible for the aroma development of the tea plant, with other famous tea-producing regions sharing traits with those of some of Uji's terroirs. Kageyama, part of Uji City, is located east of Ogura, which was home until the 1930s to the largest freshwater body of the prefecture. Kageyama, just in between the Ogura Lake and the Uji River, benefited from the aforementioned temperature swings, with beneficial mists originating from those water bodies, which also play a key role as temperature regulators and keeping frost at bay in many cases. The ever-shining available land in Uji makes tea cultivation in Kageyama extremely rare. Shimizu-san, with its fields at the heart of Kageyama, keeps the traditional rice straw cultivation alive just next door to much of the infrastructure of Uji City. A unique terroir still connects to tradition and the taste of the once-sprawling tea cultivation in the area. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5ebb596b6bb4de0f008e7352/2204b249-b7dc-4030-98c2-8be175bd759f/Matcha+Safety+Standards Shop - Asahi Matcha - Shimizuさん Kageyama Uji. 10g - Ministry of Health, Labor and Welfare As one of the healthiest nations in the world, Japan enforces exceptionally strict standards for radioactive substances, heavy metals, and pesticide residues in all food products, including matcha.

In addition to cultivating high-grade tea, Yoshidan protects the legacy of Uji tea as a whole. Some other notable achievements or responsibilities of the Yoshida family include: Caring for Japan’s oldest tea garden at Kosanji: Yoshidaさん has the incredible responsibility of managing the oldest tea garden in Japan at the Kosanji Temple (高山寺) in Kyoto, as did his father (15th generation) and grandfather (14th generation.) 20x 1st Place National Tea Competition Wins: The “Superbowl” of Japanese tea is the National Tea competition that’s been continuing for the last 75 years. The Yoshida family has participated in every year’s competition since its inception and holds over 20 first-place titles. Chairman of the Uji Tea Hand-Rolling Preservation Association: In ancient times, tea leaves were rolled by hand. Today commercial tea rolling is done exclusively by machine in Japan. Yoshidaさん presides as chairman of the association to ensure this ancient technique and tradition is not forgotten. In fact, Yoshidaさん’s grandfather's method of hand-rolling tea was certified by the Japanese government as an intangible cultural property. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5ebb596b6bb4de0f008e7352/64c53720-d598-43c8-bb07-c9bce8e92f56/image4.jpg Shop - Okumidori Matcha - Yoshidaさん Ogura Uji. 20g - Yoshidaさん Few names in Uji carry the weight of Yoshida. The family’s involvement in Uji tea traces back over 400 years - nearly as far back as Tea master Sen no Rikyū elevated the tea ceremony to an art. The history of high-grade Matcha that has made Uji a household word across the world can hardly be separated from the Yoshida family name. Ooika is thrilled to mill Yoshidaさん’s heritage Matcha fresh, right here in the United States. The family hand-picks the tea (known as Tezumi), shades the tea using traditional rice straw (known as Honzu Tana), uses Bamboo rather than metal sorting tools, and even grows their own rice to provide the material for shading. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5ebb596b6bb4de0f008e7352/90441dd8-e870-4433-9641-246123c43c74/image2.jpg Shop - Okumidori Matcha - Yoshidaさん Ogura Uji. 20g - Yoshida Matcha, and Rice Just beyond the tea farm is a rice plantation, planted by the Yoshida family. The purpose? To provide the rice straw needed to shade tea. They gave me a bag of brown rice on my visit from the field. Back home in the USA, I made a dish of chazuke—using their rice and their Matcha. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5ebb596b6bb4de0f008e7352/53431411-43a1-4ee2-9c8e-5af611a45af6/Map-Uji.png Shop - Okumidori Matcha - Yoshidaさん Ogura Uji. 20g - Ogura, Uji, Kyoto, Japan Yoshidaさん’s farm is fed by the nearby nutrient-rich Uji River. The mists from the river produce an excellent natural shade that increases the savory notes in the Matcha. The water of this river nourished the very tea leaves that are now in the bag he holds. https://ooika.co/shop/p/kinpaku-competition-asahi-matcha-2023-tsuji-shirakawa-uji monthly 0.5 2025-12-30 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5ebb596b6bb4de0f008e7352/a7be938b-455c-444d-997d-a7769255b615/gold+-+powder.jpg Shop - Kinpaku Competition Asahi Matcha 2023 - Tsujiさん Shirakawa Uji https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5ebb596b6bb4de0f008e7352/e2650841-21f1-4e84-8b9c-9053588cc5d1/gold+-+usucha.jpg Shop - Kinpaku Competition Asahi Matcha 2023 - Tsujiさん Shirakawa Uji https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5ebb596b6bb4de0f008e7352/49a852a1-0cce-47ae-9c77-bb549c6235d5/bowl.jpg Shop - Kinpaku Competition Asahi Matcha 2023 - Tsujiさん Shirakawa Uji https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5ebb596b6bb4de0f008e7352/24daa690-3e45-4fb9-956e-f07c5b31a80a/_DSC1580.jpg Shop - Kinpaku Competition Asahi Matcha 2023 - Tsujiさん Shirakawa Uji - Tsujiさん had won Minister of Agriculture, Forestry and Fisheries award for tencha as many as 6 times.

Uji’s Jinnojo Hiranoさん selected it from a seed-grown field (known as Zairai) in Kyoto Prefecture in the early 1930s. The Kyoto Prefectural Tea Research Institute released it in 1954. Despite its remarkable qualities, it has never been officially registered as a cultivar. Nonetheless, it has earned the nickname King of Matcha, and it is often showcased in competition teas. Notoriously challenging to cultivate, it has an upright shape, creating a low volume of leaves that adds to its low yield. Asahi performs exceptionally well under shading, with bright green, thin, and long leaves. Honzu shading and meticulous hand-picking result in an exceptional Tencha. Its low-yield characteristics pose a challenge to the tea pickers, the Chazumi, who are paid by weight. According to Sakataさん, 1 kg of freshly picked tea leaves “probably” creates less than 60 grams of final Matcha. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5ebb596b6bb4de0f008e7352/334d8c9e-22b8-480b-8b02-411c3a22baa5/Tsuji-Headshot-SQ.jpg Shop - Kinpaku Competition Asahi Matcha 2023 - Tsujiさん Shirakawa Uji - Tsujiさん Tsujiさん holds multiple tea awards including the highly coveted Prime Minister’s Award for Agriculture in 2017.

Each of these kilns has over 1,000 years of history and is collectively known as the Rokkoyo (六古窯), or "Six Ancient Kilns." In 2017, they were officially designated as Japanese Heritage sites. Imbe, the birthplace of Bizen pottery, preserves traditional techniques, especially Yakishime—unglazed pottery that is fired for several days to weeks at high temperatures. The distinctive patterns and colors of Bizen pottery are the result of natural chemical reactions between the wood ash, clay, and intense heat. These reactions can produce earthy reds, yellows, blacks, and even occasional hints of the highly prized and rare blue. While contemporary Bizen artists often explore new designs, forms, and techniques to push the art form forward, they do so with a profound respect for the traditions that have upheld Bizen’s status as one of the esteemed Rokkoyo. https://ooika.co/shop/p/shibuta-bizen-kiln-transformed-sake-cup monthly 0.5 2025-08-22 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5ebb596b6bb4de0f008e7352/86479386-70aa-421a-8f47-780fc92efe02/YN-SB-IO-004+-+005.jpg Shop - Shibutaさん Bizen Kiln-transformed Sake Cup (備前窯変酒盞) https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5ebb596b6bb4de0f008e7352/afa02c90-7b4d-4c54-a3a8-ff2b8f09e572/YN-SB-IO-004+-+001.jpg Shop - Shibutaさん Bizen Kiln-transformed Sake Cup (備前窯変酒盞) https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5ebb596b6bb4de0f008e7352/74b22d7b-c0ed-4ceb-bcfc-909eae103071/YN-SB-IO-004+-+002.jpg Shop - Shibutaさん Bizen Kiln-transformed Sake Cup (備前窯変酒盞) https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5ebb596b6bb4de0f008e7352/07edbf0c-982f-4e06-89bd-6a7e7834d618/YN-SB-IO-004+-+003.jpg Shop - Shibutaさん Bizen Kiln-transformed Sake Cup (備前窯変酒盞) https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5ebb596b6bb4de0f008e7352/a40302af-720b-45b9-9c42-971298501eda/YN-SB-IO-004+-+004.jpg Shop - Shibutaさん Bizen Kiln-transformed Sake Cup (備前窯変酒盞) https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5ebb596b6bb4de0f008e7352/680bca75-4cde-4a8b-aa1a-0de513251919/_DSC1342.jpg Shop - Shibutaさん Bizen Kiln-transformed Sake Cup (備前窯変酒盞) - SHIBUTAさん’s Artist Statement Our lives are deeply intertwined with nature, and my creations are born from this observation.

Mr. Masajiro Koyama selected it from seed-grown trees (known as Zairai) in the 1930s. It has since become a staple in the Kyoto prefecture and a popular cultivar for Tezumi, the traditional hand-picking method. It’s shoots are brightly colored, glossy, and have an excellent fresh fragrance. Its upright shape, together with a wide range of harvesting times, makes it easier for the Chazumi (tea pickers) to go through the tea bushes multiple times, selecting only the best leaves for that day. The Tencha from Samidori produces Matcha with low bitterness, a dark green color, gentle sweetness, and floral undertones. Its deep, clean, and mild umami flavor will make you want to whisk another bowl. High yield and flexible harvest times means this cultivar is quite popular and affordable. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5ebb596b6bb4de0f008e7352/ee32c7e8-9d82-42c8-8b86-5b9c0f57f0c5/Yamazaki-in-tea-field.jpg Shop - Samidori Matcha - Yamazakiさん Gokasho Uji - Yamazakiさん Ooika is thrilled to offer this exceptionally rare and historic Matcha, from the fields of Yamazakiさん in Gokasho Oyagijima, Uji, Kyoto. Every year, Japan holds the annual National Tea Competition (全国茶品評会基本要綱) which judges 7 teas across 8 different categories. This year (2023) marked the 77th year of the competition, held in Yame City, Fukuoka to celebrate the 600th anniversary of tea production in Yame from between 22nd-25th of August. The importance of this event can not be understated. Yamazakiさん was this year’s first-place winner in the first category for the Tencha (Unground Matcha) division for his Ujihikari cultivar, which achieved a perfect score. Through a chance meeting after a conversation with another Uji farmer we source from, we were introduced to Yamazakiさん and enjoyed a bowl of Matcha at his family home. Ooika was allowed to purchase Tencha from the very field that won this year’s first place in the National Tea Competition. Never before has Yamazakiさん’s single-estate Tencha made it to the United States. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5ebb596b6bb4de0f008e7352/53431411-43a1-4ee2-9c8e-5af611a45af6/Map-Uji.png Shop - Samidori Matcha - Yamazakiさん Gokasho Uji - Gokasho, Uji, Kyoto, Japan Located within Uji City, Gokasho sits along the Uji river, fed from lake Biwa, Gokasho holds the incredible distinction as the “birthplace” of Uji tea. Sandy soil conditions result in excellent drainage which is necessary for the Camellia Sinensis plant. The soil is so well drained that larger amounts of fertilizers (which are expensive) are used, as they easily are drained away. Further more, the river brings in nutrients, humidity, and natural fogs that help shade the tea bushes. Like with all of Uji City, the land available for tea production and cultivation is highly limited, and reduces over time as urbanization continues. Thus, enjoying Matcha grown in Gokasho is exceptionally rare and something all tea lovers should experience. https://ooika.co/shop/p/kubo-chasen-80 monthly 0.5 2026-03-25 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5ebb596b6bb4de0f008e7352/3b3368ff-4b44-4166-89f3-3744a2b1626c/_DSC1243.jpg Shop - Kuboさん x Ooika Collab Takayama White Bamboo Chasen (80 Tines 本立) https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5ebb596b6bb4de0f008e7352/212f192a-5f38-4ceb-8e5b-e0aedb1fc2c1/_DSC1242.jpg Shop - Kuboさん x Ooika Collab Takayama White Bamboo Chasen (80 Tines 本立) https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5ebb596b6bb4de0f008e7352/a7fbf146-32d9-4f19-bafc-37a64cda973e/_DSC1244.jpg Shop - Kuboさん x Ooika Collab Takayama White Bamboo Chasen (80 Tines 本立) https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5ebb596b6bb4de0f008e7352/ec3f9481-dd23-4fa9-a952-173c8483e6ca/_DSC6579.jpg Shop - Kuboさん x Ooika Collab Takayama White Bamboo Chasen (80 Tines 本立) - Make it stand out Whatever it is, the way you tell your story online can make all the difference. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5ebb596b6bb4de0f008e7352/472a6631-4002-4684-b949-927345823db7/ooika+-+kubo+chasen+takayama Shop - Kuboさん x Ooika Collab Takayama White Bamboo Chasen (80 Tines 本立) - Make it stand out Whatever it is, the way you tell your story online can make all the difference. https://ooika.co/shop/p/kubo-chrstimas-chasen-kj7lz-dxkbr monthly 0.5 2025-12-26 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5ebb596b6bb4de0f008e7352/212f192a-5f38-4ceb-8e5b-e0aedb1fc2c1/_DSC1242.jpg Shop - Kuboさん Christmas Chasen (80 Tines 本立) (Copy) https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5ebb596b6bb4de0f008e7352/a7fbf146-32d9-4f19-bafc-37a64cda973e/_DSC1244.jpg Shop - Kuboさん Christmas Chasen (80 Tines 本立) (Copy) https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5ebb596b6bb4de0f008e7352/3b3368ff-4b44-4166-89f3-3744a2b1626c/_DSC1243.jpg Shop - Kuboさん Christmas Chasen (80 Tines 本立) (Copy) https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5ebb596b6bb4de0f008e7352/ec3f9481-dd23-4fa9-a952-173c8483e6ca/_DSC6579.jpg Shop - Kuboさん Christmas Chasen (80 Tines 本立) (Copy) - Make it stand out Whatever it is, the way you tell your story online can make all the difference. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5ebb596b6bb4de0f008e7352/472a6631-4002-4684-b949-927345823db7/ooika+-+kubo+chasen+takayama Shop - Kuboさん Christmas Chasen (80 Tines 本立) (Copy) - Make it stand out Whatever it is, the way you tell your story online can make all the difference. https://ooika.co/shop/p/kubo-black-chasen-80 monthly 0.5 2026-03-25 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5ebb596b6bb4de0f008e7352/4569f3c9-2a2f-4498-9d55-2249286197b4/_DSC1239.jpg Shop - Kuboさん x Ooika Collab Takayama Black Bamboo Chasen (80 Tines 本立) https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5ebb596b6bb4de0f008e7352/64184693-c338-4082-8f0a-afb872a1e4ba/_DSC1237.jpg Shop - Kuboさん x Ooika Collab Takayama Black Bamboo Chasen (80 Tines 本立) https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5ebb596b6bb4de0f008e7352/244e165f-b2e5-4362-9517-5cade7ab39ea/_DSC1241.jpg Shop - Kuboさん x Ooika Collab Takayama Black Bamboo Chasen (80 Tines 本立) https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5ebb596b6bb4de0f008e7352/ec3f9481-dd23-4fa9-a952-173c8483e6ca/_DSC6579.jpg Shop - Kuboさん x Ooika Collab Takayama Black Bamboo Chasen (80 Tines 本立) - Make it stand out Whatever it is, the way you tell your story online can make all the difference. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5ebb596b6bb4de0f008e7352/472a6631-4002-4684-b949-927345823db7/ooika+-+kubo+chasen+takayama Shop - Kuboさん x Ooika Collab Takayama Black Bamboo Chasen (80 Tines 本立) - Make it stand out Whatever it is, the way you tell your story online can make all the difference. https://ooika.co/shop/p/asahi-matcha-yamazaki-gokasho-uji monthly 0.5 2025-11-14 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5ebb596b6bb4de0f008e7352/1709610008129-RA1MVJSVDZDBS13LIU62/2024.03.04+-+Yamazaki+Ujihikari+2023+-+Usucha.jpg Shop - Asahi Matcha - Yamazakiさん Gokasho Uji https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5ebb596b6bb4de0f008e7352/1709610001408-DM79UBKNEUFZFPAPBY33/2024.03.04+-+Yamazaki+Ujihikari+2023+-+Powder.jpg Shop - Asahi Matcha - Yamazakiさん Gokasho Uji https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5ebb596b6bb4de0f008e7352/2302d14c-bc70-4014-8125-0d64f6d4370a/Yamazaki-hand-tea-leaves.jpg Shop - Asahi Matcha - Yamazakiさん Gokasho Uji - Ujihikari (うじひかり) When shaded with Tana (a raised shelf), the small, wavy and shiny leaves of Ujihikari exude the captivating yet intriguing sweet aromas: sometimes reminiscent of straw, seaweed, and even rice koji. This distinctive scent is known as “Ooika”, or the “Aroma of Shadows.” Ujihikari has one of the most beautiful expressions of Ooika. This uncommon and highly sought-after cultivar was selected from a Zairai field in 1954 by the Kyoto Tea Research Institute and has been cultivated within Kyoto Prefecture ever since. Its erect shape makes it ideal for handpicking. Ujihikari produces a bright green, mild-umami Matcha, although it has a low production volume. One of the most beautiful characteristics of Ujihikari is its bright green, small, wavy leaves. This is a challenge for tea pickers, who take great care with such small leaves when harvesting the Ujihikari glossy and soft spring leaves. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5ebb596b6bb4de0f008e7352/ee32c7e8-9d82-42c8-8b86-5b9c0f57f0c5/Yamazaki-in-tea-field.jpg Shop - Asahi Matcha - Yamazakiさん Gokasho Uji - Yamazakiさん Ooika is thrilled to offer this exceptionally rare and historic Matcha, from the fields of Yamazakiさん in Gokasho Oyagijima, Uji, Kyoto.

As home to the artistic and intellectual, Japan’s culture and identity was shaped here. Being a city nestled within mountains and far away from the sea, many essential products needed to be brought into Kyoto from the nearby areas of Lake Biwa, Uji, Kizu, and Tamba-Sasayama. Traveling monks and merchants would bring tea, the precious cargo from China, where its links to Zen Buddhism – and tea – originated. In fact, Kozanji Temple (north of Uji) was among the first grounds to grow tea in Japan. In that period, cultivation happened mostly inside temples. The Uji area has seen a lot of transformations over the centuries, from hosting Heian aristocrats’ villas in the Heian period to being one of the boat transportation arteries for goods. Together with the Kizu River, they delivered goods to Kyoto and the Kobe-Osaka bay ports, where exports happened. It also saw the birth of an incipient tea agriculture in the Kamakura period, which developed the shading techniques for Tencha production in the late 16th century. From there, Uji became an unparalleled production area and a highly sought-after terroir for Matcha. In particular, the Gokasho area, on the east side of the Uji River, is also home to the Manpukiji temple, where monks popularized leaf tea in contrast to powdered tea common in other sects. The key to Gokasho was its fan-shaped, gently sloped, sandy terrain leading to the Uji River, with some fields still existing just next to the riverbed. The area also benefited from the mists, humidity, and protection of the Uji River. Most importantly, Gokasho was prime land for the processing facilities and warehouses responsible for producing the highly sought-after tea of Uji and distributing it to the Capital or elsewhere. Like in other areas of Uji City, the land available for tea cultivation is shrinking as urban expansion continues. Matcha grown in Gokasho is exceptionally rare and both a historical and delicious experience. https://ooika.co/shop/p/ooika-x-aoki-collab-indigo-denim-shirt monthly 0.5 2026-01-13 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5ebb596b6bb4de0f008e7352/4cace978-efc7-49fc-a8b4-ae66fb5ad912/Ooika_Jean-Collab-Merch_tshirt+front.jpg Shop -

Ujihikari Matcha - Yoshidaさん Ogura Uji - Yoshidaさん Few names in Uji carry the weight of Yoshida. The family’s involvement in Uji tea traces back over 400 years - nearly as far back as Tea master Sen no Rikyū elevated the tea ceremony to an art. The history of high-grade Matcha that has made Uji a household word across the world can hardly be separated from the Yoshida family name. Ooika is thrilled to mill Yoshidaさん’s heritage Matcha fresh, right here in the United States. The family hand-picks the tea (known as Tezumi), shades the tea using traditional rice straw (known as Honzu Tana), uses Bamboo rather than metal sorting tools, and even grows their own rice to provide the material for shading. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5ebb596b6bb4de0f008e7352/d9aab300-cca0-46ef-b5ee-2b049de36a29/Yoshida-2024-01.jpg Shop - Ujihikari Matcha - Yoshidaさん Ogura Uji - 16-th Generation Yoshidaさん is a 16th-generation farmer, whose current field is over 200 years old. In addition to cultivating high-grade tea, Yoshidan protects the legacy of Uji tea as a whole. Some other notable achievements or responsibilities of the Yoshida family include: Caring for Japan’s oldest tea garden at Kosanji: Yoshidaさん has the incredible responsibility of managing the oldest tea garden in Japan at the Kosanji Temple (高山寺) in Kyoto, as did his father (15th generation) and grandfather (14th generation.) 20x 1st Place National Tea Competition Wins: The “Superbowl” of Japanese tea is the National Tea competition that’s been continuing for the last 75 years. The Yoshida family has participated in every year’s competition since its inception and holds over 20 first-place titles. Chairman of the Uji Tea Hand-Rolling Preservation Association: In ancient times, tea leaves were rolled by hand. Today commercial tea rolling is done exclusively by machine in Japan. Yoshidaさん presides as chairman of the association to ensure this ancient technique and tradition is not forgotten. In fact, Yoshidaさん’s grandfather's method of hand-rolling tea was certified by the Japanese government as an intangible cultural property. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5ebb596b6bb4de0f008e7352/7fdc70ac-abc8-402d-8f20-7e3f7b3a92c1/samidori.jpg Shop - Ujihikari Matcha - Yoshidaさん Ogura Uji - Samidori (さみどり) Samidori (さみどり) is another privately selected tea cultivar. Mr. Masajiro Koyama selected it from seed-grown trees (known as Zairai) in the 1930s. It has since become a staple in the Kyoto prefecture and a popular cultivar for Tezumi, the traditional hand-picking method. It’s shoots are brightly colored, glossy, and have an excellent fresh fragrance. Its upright shape, together with a wide range of harvesting times, makes it easier for the Chazumi (tea pickers) to go through the tea bushes multiple times, selecting only the best leaves for that day. The Tencha from Samidori produces Matcha with low bitterness, a dark green color, gentle sweetness, and floral undertones. Its deep, clean, and mild umami flavor will make you want to whisk another bowl. High yield and flexible harvest times means this cultivar is quite popular and affordable. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5ebb596b6bb4de0f008e7352/90441dd8-e870-4433-9641-246123c43c74/image2.jpg Shop - Ujihikari Matcha - Yoshidaさん Ogura Uji - Yoshida Matcha, and Rice Just beyond the tea farm is a rice plantation, planted by the Yoshida family. The purpose? To provide the rice straw needed to shade tea. They gave me a bag of brown rice on my visit from the field. Back home in the USA, I made a dish of chazuke—using their rice and their Matcha. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5ebb596b6bb4de0f008e7352/53431411-43a1-4ee2-9c8e-5af611a45af6/Map-Uji.png Shop - Ujihikari Matcha - Yoshidaさん Ogura Uji - Ogura, Uji, Kyoto, Japan Kyoto, a core pillar of Japanese culture, is home to the Kozanji temple, located in the northern mountains and one of the earliest areas for tea cultivation in Japan. The seedlings, born from the connection with Zen Buddhism, would crystallize many centuries later in a unique and profound act of intentionality, the Japanese tea ceremony, with many of its roots in the Kyoto prefecture. Uji, south of Kyoto city, eventually became an important production center for Tencha. In our times, Uji is one of the world’s best-known terroirs for Matcha. With the Uji river traversing the area and providing moisture and highly beneficial mists, it held the center of Tencha production in Japan. Moreover, most of the land immediately northwest of Uji, right next to Ogura 小倉町, was home to the largest freshwater body in the prefecture. The Ogura Lake existed until the 30s - 40s when land reclamation converted the area for agricultural use, which benefited from its nutrient-rich soil. While other production areas inside the prefecture have taken the baton in terms of cultivation, the Ujicha 宇治茶 brand remains one of the most recognizable tea brands in Japan. Born from tea processed in Uji, from inside the prefecture and elsewhere. Ogura is considered the birthplace of Gyokuro, although its tea cultivation history extends back even further. Keeping alive the tradition of cultivating tea under straw shading, with reed screens and straw for the roof and bamboo or other logs for pillars. Such is their connection to much earlier times that a 16th-generation family, with Yoshida-san at its forefront, has been tasked with the care of the Kozanji temple tea fields. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5ebb596b6bb4de0f008e7352/19f6f81a-0cd2-44d2-ab72-0f87b8c46c48/Matcha+Safety Shop - Ujihikari Matcha - Yoshidaさん Ogura Uji - Ministry of Health, Labor and Welfare As one of the healthiest nations in the world, Japan enforces exceptionally strict standards for radioactive substances, heavy metals, and pesticide residues in all food products, including matcha.

However, it is susceptible to cold weather, making it a popular choice in more southern regions of Japan or terroirs that, with their geographic or microclimate, don’t experience frost. Luckily, shading techniques for Tencha originated as a frost prevention technique, perfect for growing Saemidori while protecting it. It is a relatively new cultivar, registered in 1990, and it has captivated the hearts of many farmers since then. That is due to its versatility, high price in the tea auctions, and its easily recognized strong umami flavor with an excellent, bright green color. At peak harvesting season, its leaves have a rubbery, soft texture to the touch, bursting with humidity and pliable. Hand-picked Saemidori creates an experience in a class of its own, rivaling other high-end Tencha cultivars. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5ebb596b6bb4de0f008e7352/e362f1bb-38a2-4d8d-a9c2-6e1e95f265b4/Map-Yame.png Shop - Saemidori Matcha - Eshimaさん Yame. 20g - Yame, Fukuoka, Japan Located in the northwest sector of Kyushu Island, Fukuoka Prefecture stretches to the east, connecting to Japan's main island, Honshu, through the Kanmon Straits. Traveling west, we reach the Saga Prefecture, known in the old times as the Hizen province, which encompassed the current Nagasaki Prefecture. Hizen was an entrance to Japan from the Korean Peninsula and mainland China. Fukuoka became a road for all the merchant goods and immigrants traveling through the mainland island on their way to, perhaps, Kyoto, the capital at that time. Fukuoka is still a bustling city known for its night food culture and Yame tea. Zen Buddhism followed the same old path. Eisai, believed to have introduced tea seeds into the country together with earlier monks, planted some in the Sefuri Mountains, now the border with Saga Prefecture, where some remnants of a temple complex still exist together with their tea field. Fukuoka and other Kyushu prefectures are known as centers of Kamairicha production that used pan-firing instead of steam from the Chinese and Korean influences in the region. In the early 19th century, the prefecture eventually embraced steaming techniques developed in Uji, which would inevitably shift its production methods. Yame, in the south of the prefecture, is regarded as an excellent terroir for Gyokuro. Thanks to the adoption of shading, long steaming, innovative farming techniques, and rich variations of nutrient-rich soil types. Yame has consistently dominated the Gyokuro competitions for many consecutive years. https://ooika.co/shop/p/kinpaku-competition-ujihikari-matcha-2023-tsuji-shirakawa-uji monthly 0.5 2026-01-07 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5ebb596b6bb4de0f008e7352/a7be938b-455c-444d-997d-a7769255b615/gold+-+powder.jpg Shop - Kinpaku Competition Ujihikari Matcha 2023 - Tsujiさん Shirakawa Uji https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5ebb596b6bb4de0f008e7352/e2650841-21f1-4e84-8b9c-9053588cc5d1/gold+-+usucha.jpg Shop - Kinpaku Competition Ujihikari Matcha 2023 - Tsujiさん Shirakawa Uji https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5ebb596b6bb4de0f008e7352/49a852a1-0cce-47ae-9c77-bb549c6235d5/bowl.jpg Shop - Kinpaku Competition Ujihikari Matcha 2023 - Tsujiさん Shirakawa Uji https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5ebb596b6bb4de0f008e7352/24daa690-3e45-4fb9-956e-f07c5b31a80a/_DSC1580.jpg Shop - Kinpaku Competition Ujihikari Matcha 2023 - Tsujiさん Shirakawa Uji - Tsujiさん had won Minister of Agriculture, Forestry and Fisheries award for tencha as many as 6 times.

This distinctive scent is known as “Ooika”, or the “Aroma of Shadows.” Ujihikari has one of the most beautiful expressions of Ooika. This uncommon and highly sought-after cultivar was selected from a Zairai field in 1954 by the Kyoto Tea Research Institute and has been cultivated within Kyoto Prefecture ever since. Its erect shape makes it ideal for handpicking. Ujihikari produces a bright green, mild-umami Matcha, although it has a low production volume. One of the most beautiful characteristics of Ujihikari is its bright green, small, wavy leaves. This is a challenge for tea pickers, who take great care with such small leaves when harvesting the Ujihikari glossy and soft spring leaves. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5ebb596b6bb4de0f008e7352/334d8c9e-22b8-480b-8b02-411c3a22baa5/Tsuji-Headshot-SQ.jpg Shop - Kinpaku Competition Ujihikari Matcha 2023 - Tsujiさん Shirakawa Uji - Tsujiさん Tsujiさん holds multiple tea awards including the highly coveted Prime Minister’s Award for Agriculture in 2017.

Historically, matcha has always been blended. Single-cultivar or single-origin matcha is a modern, non-traditional practice that was popularized largely in part by Ooika. In Japan, single-cultivar matcha is not considered a finished product, but a raw ingredient like flour before it becomes bread. Chashi are master blenders that are licensed across up to ten ranks, with only 13 individuals ever reaching the 10th rank. Their role is to create and maintain the aroma, flavor, and price of their blends. This is a monumental task given the base material changes every harvest. Single Cultivar Matcha is like science, where blended Matcha is an artform. For this reason, Ooika does not create its own blends, nor do we disclose cultivar breakdowns for blended matcha. A blend is not a recipe to be itemized or reverse-engineered. Attempting to construct a blend arbitrarily or to dissect one into components may be well-intended but is ultimately disrespectful to the Chashi and their efforts. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5ebb596b6bb4de0f008e7352/53431411-43a1-4ee2-9c8e-5af611a45af6/Map-Uji.png Shop - Celaeno (Japan Milled) - Shirakawa, Uji Uji is probably the world’s best-known terroir for Matcha.

You can learn more about these regulations from Japan’s Codex Alimentarius and the Ministry of Health, Labor and Welfare (MHLW)’s website. https://ooika.co/shop/p/ooika-houjicha-hot-chocolate monthly 0.5 2026-03-31 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5ebb596b6bb4de0f008e7352/406edaa2-6a4a-489e-a30b-3aad1248df2f/Houjicha-Square.jpg Shop - Ooika Houjicha Hot Cocoa Mix - Houjicha-Square.jpg https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5ebb596b6bb4de0f008e7352/79342301-5dc5-460e-a606-632d99ea521e/Houjicha-Square-back.jpg Shop - Ooika Houjicha Hot Cocoa Mix - Houjicha-Square-back.jpg https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5ebb596b6bb4de0f008e7352/84490d65-9238-4881-8162-1b1f39047b75/_DSC6748.jpg Shop - Ooika Houjicha Hot Cocoa Mix - _DSC6748.jpg https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5ebb596b6bb4de0f008e7352/1770013377446-MPHQ55MAE2MI7XSG2RTW/_DSC6770.jpg Shop - Ooika Houjicha Hot Cocoa Mix https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5ebb596b6bb4de0f008e7352/1770013377395-H42XLRDA8HHBJ2Z0UV0H/_DSC6748+copy.jpg Shop - Ooika Houjicha Hot Cocoa Mix https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5ebb596b6bb4de0f008e7352/1770013379421-NGJZJCMD7WP2TJKJ2I1Q/_DSC6780.jpg Shop - Ooika Houjicha Hot Cocoa Mix https://ooika.co/shop/p/ooika-valentine monthly 0.5 2026-02-14 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5ebb596b6bb4de0f008e7352/5b105005-655c-41c3-9f70-473811b07551/ooika.unedited-40.jpg Shop - PREORDER: The Ooika Valentine - ooika.unedited-40.jpg https://ooika.co/shop/p/kubo-chasen-100 monthly 0.5 2026-04-01 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5ebb596b6bb4de0f008e7352/c927f70a-a9cd-4f28-a77c-2377f1350803/100+Whisk.jpg Shop - Kuboさん x Ooika Collab Takayama White Bamboo Chasen (100 Tines 本立) - 100 Whisk.jpg https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5ebb596b6bb4de0f008e7352/fa0a6f99-9d3e-47ee-8a1d-e5cf42a93ede/100+Box.jpg Shop - Kuboさん x Ooika Collab Takayama White Bamboo Chasen (100 Tines 本立) - 100 Box.jpg https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5ebb596b6bb4de0f008e7352/ec3f9481-dd23-4fa9-a952-173c8483e6ca/_DSC6579.jpg Shop - Kuboさん x Ooika Collab Takayama White Bamboo Chasen (100 Tines 本立) - Make it stand out Whatever it is, the way you tell your story online can make all the difference. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5ebb596b6bb4de0f008e7352/472a6631-4002-4684-b949-927345823db7/ooika+-+kubo+chasen+takayama Shop - Kuboさん x Ooika Collab Takayama White Bamboo Chasen (100 Tines 本立) - Make it stand out Whatever it is, the way you tell your story online can make all the difference. https://ooika.co/shop/p/kubo-chasen-120 monthly 0.5 2026-04-01 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5ebb596b6bb4de0f008e7352/6e18b6d0-d4cc-488a-baee-dffadb899aa9/120+Whisk.jpg Shop - Kuboさん x Ooika Collab Takayama White Bamboo Chasen (120 Tines 本立) - 120 Whisk.jpg https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5ebb596b6bb4de0f008e7352/424c3c3b-4ca9-4dc1-a052-cd848e98ef42/120+Box.jpg Shop - Kuboさん x Ooika Collab Takayama White Bamboo Chasen (120 Tines 本立) - 120 Box.jpg https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5ebb596b6bb4de0f008e7352/ec3f9481-dd23-4fa9-a952-173c8483e6ca/_DSC6579.jpg Shop - Kuboさん x Ooika Collab Takayama White Bamboo Chasen (120 Tines 本立) - Make it stand out Whatever it is, the way you tell your story online can make all the difference. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5ebb596b6bb4de0f008e7352/472a6631-4002-4684-b949-927345823db7/ooika+-+kubo+chasen+takayama Shop - Kuboさん x Ooika Collab Takayama White Bamboo Chasen (120 Tines 本立) - Make it stand out Whatever it is, the way you tell your story online can make all the difference. https://ooika.co/shop/p/matcha-mill-club monthly 0.5 2026-02-02 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5ebb596b6bb4de0f008e7352/e5d33b7a-13b6-48ca-8eb3-713d352b735b/image2.jpg Shop - Matcha Mill Club - Monthly - image2.jpg https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5ebb596b6bb4de0f008e7352/1661825798979-IW0DM4AHOT0R04CA7Y6C/_DSC4164.jpg Shop - Matcha Mill Club - Monthly https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5ebb596b6bb4de0f008e7352/1661825831630-A276WZRLCZI8J1R56MRR/_DSC4149.jpg Shop - Matcha Mill Club - Monthly https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5ebb596b6bb4de0f008e7352/636ae0f7-7b18-46e1-b646-a007882e0f88/Shizen+Splash.jpg Shop - Matcha Mill Club - Monthly https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5ebb596b6bb4de0f008e7352/1654049975577-LTMWPQVXG0MECBOJWZHB/_DSC3388.jpg Shop - Matcha Mill Club - Monthly https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5ebb596b6bb4de0f008e7352/ed0d47c0-dfa6-4264-ad48-759024946db8/MMC+-+Koicha+pouring.jpg Shop - Matcha Mill Club - Monthly - About the membership Designed for matcha Exploration Experience some of the rarest Matchas from Japan. Or, compare and contrast Single-Origin Matcha from different producers, cultivars, terroirs, vintages, and more. Each month is thoughtfully curated to deepen your Matcha knowledge. Some months, you’ll receive 2–3 matcha selections for side-by-side tasting. Other months, we’ll go deep on a single exceptional matcha. Membership tiers are based on the value of matcha you receive, not the number of grams. Depending on the selection, that may mean 4 grams one month or 20 grams the next.
