Master Uejima-san\u2019s highest-quality matcha, distinguished by its exceptionally rich and deep umami flavor. To achieve perfect balance, leaves from three tea cultivars are carefully blended: Ujihikari, Samidori, and Gokou. This is a rare variety of Ujihikari tea tree. It is particularly appreciated for its natural sweetness and expressive umami, which gives the matcha its richness and a clean, lingering aftertaste. Drawing on years of experience, Master Uejima-san has meticulously combined all three varieties to create a harmonious and subtle flavour structure that is clearly perceptible in every cup. <\/p>\n We recommend cooking with 60\u2103 water to bring out its rich umami flavour. Both usucha (liquid matcha) and koicha (thick matcha) can be prepared. <\/p>\n","protected":false},"featured_media":26848,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"closed","template":"","meta":{"_acf_changed":false,"site-sidebar-layout":"default","site-content-layout":"default","ast-site-content-layout":"default","site-content-style":"default","site-sidebar-style":"default","ast-global-header-display":"","ast-banner-title-visibility":"","ast-main-header-display":"","ast-hfb-above-header-display":"","ast-hfb-below-header-display":"","ast-hfb-mobile-header-display":"","site-post-title":"","ast-breadcrumbs-content":"","ast-featured-img":"","footer-sml-layout":"","ast-disable-related-posts":"","theme-transparent-header-meta":"default","adv-header-id-meta":"","stick-header-meta":"","header-above-stick-meta":"","header-main-stick-meta":"","header-below-stick-meta":"","astra-migrate-meta-layouts":"set","ast-page-background-enabled":"default","ast-page-background-meta":{"desktop":{"background-color":"","background-image":"","background-repeat":"repeat","background-position":"center center","background-size":"auto","background-attachment":"scroll","background-type":"","background-media":"","overlay-type":"","overlay-color":"","overlay-opacity":"","overlay-gradient":""},"tablet":{"background-color":"","background-image":"","background-repeat":"repeat","background-position":"center center","background-size":"auto","background-attachment":"scroll","background-type":"","background-media":"","overlay-type":"","overlay-color":"","overlay-opacity":"","overlay-gradient":""},"mobile":{"background-color":"","background-image":"","background-repeat":"repeat","background-position":"center center","background-size":"auto","background-attachment":"scroll","background-type":"","background-media":"","overlay-type":"","overlay-color":"","overlay-opacity":"","overlay-gradient":""}},"ast-content-background-meta":{"desktop":{"background-color":"var(--ast-global-color-5)","background-image":"","background-repeat":"repeat","background-position":"center center","background-size":"auto","background-attachment":"scroll","background-type":"","background-media":"","overlay-type":"","overlay-color":"","overlay-opacity":"","overlay-gradient":""},"tablet":{"background-color":"var(--ast-global-color-5)","background-image":"","background-repeat":"repeat","background-position":"center center","background-size":"auto","background-attachment":"scroll","background-type":"","background-media":"","overlay-type":"","overlay-color":"","overlay-opacity":"","overlay-gradient":""},"mobile":{"background-color":"var(--ast-global-color-5)","background-image":"","background-repeat":"repeat","background-position":"center center","background-size":"auto","background-attachment":"scroll","background-type":"","background-media":"","overlay-type":"","overlay-color":"","overlay-opacity":"","overlay-gradient":""}},"_members_access_role":[],"_members_access_error":""},"product_brand":[],"product_cat":[462],"product_tag":[559,1553,668,667,1554,1555,611,612,610,1220,596,1135,1185,1557,624,1134,603,602,1556,1552,1201,514,1530,1532],"class_list":["post-19672","product","type-product","status-publish","has-post-thumbnail","product_cat-matcha-tea","product_tag-ceremonial-matcha","product_tag-delicious-matcha","product_tag-how-to-make-matcha-en","product_tag-how-to-prepare-matcha-en","product_tag-imperial-matcha-en","product_tag-imperial-quality","product_tag-japanese-matcha","product_tag-japanese-matcha-tea","product_tag-japanese-tea-matcha","product_tag-masters-matcha","product_tag-matcha-en","product_tag-matcha-en-2","product_tag-matcha-preparation-en-2","product_tag-matcha-soup","product_tag-matcha-tea","product_tag-matcha-tea-en","product_tag-matcha-tea-powder","product_tag-matcha-tea-vilnius","product_tag-matcha-vilnius-en","product_tag-original-matcha","product_tag-quality-matcha-en","product_tag-tea-online","product_tag-yugen-tea-tea","product_tag-yugen-tea-vilnius-en","desktop-align-center","tablet-align-center","mobile-align-center","first","instock","featured","taxable","shipping-taxable","purchasable","product-type-variable"],"acf":[],"yoast_head":"\n
