Discover the exceptional Imperial Matcha, created by fifth-generation tea master Uejima-san. This top-quality Japanese matcha comes from the town of Wazuka in the renowned Uji region—an area prized for its ideal conditions for growing premium-grade green tea.

“Imperial” matcha is distinguished by its exceptionally rich, deep umami flavor and subtle harmony, achieved by blending three carefully selected tea plant varieties: Ujihikari, Samidori, and Gokou. The exceptionally rare Ujihikari variety imparts a natural sweetness, richness, and a clean, long-lasting aftertaste to the matcha.

Drawing on his many years of experience and expertise, Mr. Uejima has created a subtle flavor profile that unfolds in every cup—from the initial aroma to the lingering aftertaste.

Uejima-san is one of the most respected tea masters in Wazuka, whose tea is appreciated not only in Japan but also around the world. His creations can be found in high-end hotels, and one of his most notable achievements is receiving the highest rating at the Kyoto Tea Tasting Competition.

It is a great honor to present this master’s tea in the Yugen Tea collection—a matcha designed for those seeking an authentic, top-quality Japanese tea experience.

This matcha chasen is for tea ceremony lovers who want to enjoy the handmade creations of a master craftsman. A large proportion of the chasen on the market are mass-produced in China. It comes from the Chikumeido Sabun workshop in Nara Prefecture, Japan. Kubo Sabun, who runs the workshop, is the twenty-fourth generation master of chasen making. Passed down from generation to generation for more than 500 years, family craftsmanship is recognised nationally and internationally. The master is recognised by the Japanese government as a representative of Japanese traditional arts, and in 2008 his work has been exhibited at the Louvre Museum, as well as in numerous other exhibitions.

The production of this tea ceremony tool requires a lot of care and time. The Chasen journey begins with the selection, preparation and production of the right bamboo. The chasen we offer has 80 tines and is designed to produce usucha-type matcha. If properly maintained, the whisk will last a long time and produce many delicious cups of tea.
