Carefully blended from tencha grown in the mountainous heart of Wazuka, this tea whisks into a round and balanced usucha, with deep, vivid aroma and flavour.

Eiryoku (映緑 - Reflecting Green) is ideal for daily usucha and chanoyu practice. It has a slightly darker, toastier aroma and flavour than many of our other Uji matchas which makes it stand out in milk drinks as well.

Uji city in Kyoto has long been at the centre of Japanese tea and has been famed for its high-quality matcha production for centuries, dating back to the 12th century. The shading method used to produce modern matcha (c. 16th century) along with sencha (1737) and gyokuro itself (1835) were all invented by Uji farmers looking to push the boundaries of tea quality. Though the name Ujicha remains associated with high-grade tea, most tea branded as Ujicha is produced in the neighbouring towns of Ujitawara, Minamiyamashiro, Kizugawa, and primarily Wazuka.
