Our first-harvested matcha from Uji is the highest quality because it’s made from the youngest, most tender tea leaves picked in early spring. These leaves have the richest concentration of nutrients, a naturally sweet, umami flavor, and a vibrant green color. Grown in Kyoto’s ideal climate and crafted using traditional techniques, this first harvest—known as "Ichibancha"—delivers unmatched freshness, smoothness, and depth, making it the finest expression of authentic Japanese matcha.

High-quality matcha begins with the youngest, most tender tea leaves, carefully grown in the shade after budding. This traditional method slows their growth, allowing complex flavors and a delicate, nuanced aroma to develop fully. The result is a smooth, vibrant matcha with remarkable depth, balance, and elegance.
