Uji Kyoto — Ceremonial Grade Matcha
A Pure, Elegant Cup Rooted in Tradition and Calm
$27.99
Flavor Description
Uji Kyoto Ceremonial Grade Matcha is a cup of pure Japanese tradition — smooth, umami‑rich, and crafted with quiet excellence. Grown in the renowned tea fields of Uji, Kyoto, the finest shade‑grown leaves are hand‑selected and stone‑milled to create a velvety powder that feels both luxurious and deeply calming.
The flavor opens with a gentle, savory umami warmth, melts into a rich, creamy smoothness, and finishes with a delicate natural sweetness — never bitter, never harsh. Just a harmonious, balanced cup that feels peaceful, grounding, and full of purpose.
Rich in EGCG antioxidants and naturally high in L‑theanine, this ceremonial matcha supports calm focus, steady energy, and mindful moments throughout the day. Whether enjoyed traditionally or whisked into a creamy latte, it’s a matcha that elevates your routine with purity, beauty, and intention.
