organic UJIHIKARI

*Please be sure to check "For Customers Outside Japan" at the top of the page when ordering.

Ujihikari certified under the JAS organic system 

100% Hand-picked first flush tea 

This organic matcha is our new organic matcha, made from only hand-picked first flush tea leaves, which is rare in Japan.

We have our own unique tea cultivation and processing techniques that have won us the top prize in Japan. Using those techniques, we grow Uji variety Ujihikari in our own organic tea gardens, pick it by hand, finish it in our factory, and grind it in a stone mill.

The shading was designed to match young organic Ujihikari tea trees that we started growing in 2020, so you may be able to experience the natural flavor of the tea trees in this matcha only now.

Vibrant 　Slightly punchy　Strong　Fresh aroma

<From the Farmer>

This organic Ujihikari is our new organic matcha, newly grown in 2020 and the first we picked this season. Perhaps its flavor is a little punchy for a matcha we make. The organic Ujihikari trees are still young, and we have been shading them a little less this time around to encourage their growth. But we are confident that the gusto of flavor we are experiencing now will eventually transform into something wonderful as the years go by.
