It’s perfect for making the kind of matcha latte to delight green tea connoisseur – dark green like jade, with a touch of sweet scent.
Uji Matcha Green Tea Base has its origin in Uji. This town to the south of Kyoto was chosen by Japanese monks who bought the seeds from China. The reasons were clear. Uji is in the embrace of mountains and rivers. Its natural abundance, clean air and drastic temperature difference between night and day all contribute to the production of quality tea.
Surely enough, Uji gained fame as one of the best sources for green tea, especially during the period of Kamakura Dynasty (1192-1333). Uji green tea has been presented to the Japanese dynasties since. We are talking about over 800 years of tea growing experience, which is still practiced today by more than haft of the population.
Green tea is shade grown to preserve flavor and taste. Called tencha, these richly green leaves are baked at optimal temperature without being rolled first, then finely ground in a stone mortar to make quality matcha powder.
