UJI

UJI

Uji is the traditionalist expression. A rare cultivar paired with a classic, grown the way Uji matcha has always been made. Ujihikari survives on only a handful of farms today, kept alive by growers who refused to replace it with higher-yield varieties. Samidori brings the body, Ujihikari brings the depth — together they make a cup rooted in the region that defined matcha itself.
