Uji Hikari Matcha 20g
Tasting Notes: Bonito Flakes, Sweet Cream, Snap Pea
Uji Hikari (うじひかり), as its name suggests, is a cultivar indigenous to Uji, Kyoto. This rare variety is seldom offered as an unblended matcha within Japan's domestic market. Our offering presents an opportunity to experience it 100% unblended.
This variety presents a punchy, bold, and fresh aroma. On the palate, it reveals a deep umami balanced with a delicate sweetness. The texture is remarkably creamy, leaving a rich, lingering mouthfeel. The flavor profile is a study in contrasts—simultaneously light and rich, clean yet complex.
Production adheres to traditional methods, cultivating with only organic fertilizers and employing a time-honored shade-growing technique. Each batch is handpicked and stone-milled in small quantities.
