Enter the fascinating world of matcha tea, where authenticity and excellence converge in every sip. At the heart of this unique experience is the Uji region of Japan, the birthplace of our beloved matcha tea and the epicenter of centuries of tradition and perfection.
The Journey to Uji:
Located in Kyoto Prefecture, the Uji region has earned a reputation as the most prestigious and ancient source of Japanese matcha tea. Its picturesque landscape, marked by rolling hills and serene streams, creates ideal conditions for growing the Camellia sinensis tea variety, which gives rise to matcha.
The Millennial Tradition:
The history of matcha tea in Uji dates back more than a thousand years, when Buddhist monks introduced tea seeds to this fertile land. Since then, the region has been a beacon of knowledge and expertise in tea production. Traditional growing and processing methods have been passed down from generation to generation, ensuring the unrivaled purity and quality of every matcha tea leaf that reaches your cup.
Delicate Cultivation and Ritual Harvest:
The process of growing matcha tea in Uji is a delicate dance between nature and human skill. The tea leaves are carefully covered to protect them from the sun, enhancing their flavor and vibrant green color. The harvest is done by hand, respecting the precise times to guarantee freshness and fullness of flavor in each cup.
Artisanal Grinding:
One of the most distinctive aspects of Uji matcha tea is its artisanal grinding. The leaves, once dried, are slowly ground into fine powder using stone mills. This meticulous process preserves natural flavors and aromas, offering a unique and authentic sensory experience.
Flavors that Tell a Story:
Every sip of our matcha tea transports drinkers to the lush plantations of Uji, where tradition and modernity merge to create a unique experience. From the first infusion to the last sip, a story of care, dedication and love for the art of tea is revealed.
