A Masterclass in Uji Matcha
3 teas. 1 farm. The full spectrum of what Uji matcha can be.
This set takes you through the full range of our Uji harvest, from bright ceremonial matcha to deep, roasted hojicha. From the vibrant emerald of our gold-standard ceremonial tea to the deep, smoky warmth of roasted Hojicha, this curated set invites you to explore the full spectrum of Uji craftsmanship.
What’s Inside: The 3 Expressions of Uji Matcha
Each tin holds 30g of the 1st flush harvest, grown organically on our family farm in Wazuka, Uji.
1. MATSU : The Gold Standard (Ceremonial Grade)
The ceremonial standard
- The Profile: A JAS-certified organic masterpiece. Crafted from 100% 1st flush Saemidori Tencha, MATSU is the definition of "liquid silk"
- The Taste: Incredibly creamy with a lingering warmth of toasted nuts and milk chocolateI
- Best For: Whisking into Usucha (thin tea) to savour the pure, unadulterated umami. This is your meditation in a bowl
2. AOI : The Latte Specialist (Premium Grade)
The Bold Companion for Milk
- The Profile: A 1st harvest blend of Okumidori & Yabukita cultivars, AOI is intentionally crafted to go with milk with a bolder body & stronger taste
- The Taste: Vibrant and punchy, with a structured astringency designed to cut through milk without losing its emerald character
- Best For: The ultimate Matcha Latte, flat white, or iced matcha. It’s the daily luxury that won't disappear in your cup
3. KAEDE: The Rare Roasted Tencha (Hojicha)
The Decadent Coffee Alternative
- The Profile: This isn't your standard hojicha. KAEDE is "Roasted Matcha", made from the same high-quality 1st Flush Tencha as our green teas, then precision-toasted
- The Taste: A comforting embrace of burnt toffee, roasted chestnuts & cocoa
-
Best For: A cozy evening ritual. Naturally low in caffeine and deeply aromatic, it’s the perfect transition from a busy day to a calm night
Why You’ll Love This Discovery Set
- 1st Harvest Exclusivity: Unlike other tasting packs that use lower-grade fillers, every tea in this set is sourced from the prestigious spring harvest for maximum nutrient density and flavour
- Farm-to-Whisk Transparency: Sourced directly from our 4th-generation family farm in Uji. Whether it carries the official JAS seal (like MATSU) or is grown to the same strict organic standards (like AOI and KAEDE), you are guaranteed a chemical-free, pure leaf
- The Ideal Gift: Whether for a curious beginner or a seasoned enthusiast, this is the most thoughtful way to introduce someone to the world of Uji matcha
STORAGE TIPS
STORAGE TIPS
To preserve matcha’s vibrant color and flavour, store it in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight. For optimal quality, enjoy within 1-2 months of opening since colour and aroma naturally fade over time. Refrigeration is not recommended as odours and condensation can compromise quality. A stable, dry environment is the best way to keep your matcha fresh

Such good value!! All of the teas from this set are super high quality and tastes delicious :)
As someone who drinks matcha daily, I was curious to try & compare these 3 together, and I’m impressed. Kiri is aromatic & smooth. Aoi surprised me with its quality as an “all purpose” matcha, it’s nothing like what i had before, perfect for lattes but also for drinking straight. And the hojicha is so comforting and it became my evening go-to. You can tell each tea is high quality and thoughtfully sourced.
