Uji Moritoku "Saika" Premium Uji Matcha – 100% Pure Authentic Japanese Green Tea Powder (30g / 1.06 oz Freshness-Locked Steel Tin)

Experience the authentic essence of Japanese tradition with "Saika" Uji Matcha (彩香), meticulously selected by the master blenders at Uji Moritoku, a renowned name operating from Osaka. Sourced directly from the historic, shade-grown tea fields of Uji, Kyoto—the epicenter of premium Japanese tea—this beautiful match features a vibrant emerald hue, a robustly rich flavor profile, and a soothingly clean, deep aroma. Ground into an incredibly fine, velvety powder, it strikes the perfect balance between a crisp, stimulating body and a mellow, smooth finish.

Packaged beautifully in a compact, airtight 30g steel tin, this item is highly versatile for daily enjoyment. It is smooth and pure enough to be whisked into a traditional bowl of hot matcha (Usucha), while providing a rich, magnificent green tea character that cuts through milk and sweeteners flawlessly for premium, cafe-style matcha lattes, wellness smoothies, or gourmet home-baked confections.

🎁 Important Note Regarding Packaging Presentation:

🥄 Simple Preparation Guides

🍵 1. Traditional Hot Matcha:

• Sift 1.5g to 2g (approx. 1 teaspoon) of matcha into a warmed tea bowl.

• Pour in 60ml to 80ml of hot water (strictly cooled to around 80°C / 176°F to prevent scalding the delicate flavors).

• Whisk rapidly in an "M" or "W" motion using a bamboo whisk until a beautiful, dense layer of light-green foam covers the surface.

🥛 2. Cafe-Style Matcha Latte:

• Mix 2g of powder with a small splash of warm water and stir well to create a smooth, lump-free green paste.

• Pour in 150ml of warm frothed milk (or cold milk with ice cubes) and add honey or sugar to your liking.
