Ultra-Premium Ceremonial Uji Matcha "Shokien" 20g (0.70 oz) – 100% Pure Single-Origin Tea from Ujitawara, Kyoto | Pristine Competition-Grade Japanese Green Tea Powder

Experience the absolute zenith of traditional Japanese tea artistry. Sourced exclusively from Ujitawara, Kyoto—revered historically as the literal birthplace of Japanese green tea cultivation method—this ultra-premium ceremonial matcha by Shokien represents the highest tier of artisanal tea craftsmanship. Grown on elite, micro-climate river estates under strict traditional shade-cloth for maximum amino acid concentration, these pristine spring leaves are hand-picked and stone-milled into a microscopic powder of unparalleled quality.

This rare, high-fidelity grade is packaged in a specialized, light-blocking 20g sleek aluminum freshness pouch. Because it is an exquisite competition-level ceremonial tea, it features an extraordinarily brilliant, near-fluorescent jade green color and an intensely deep, sweet umami profile. With absolutely zero harshness or bitter astringency, it offers an impossibly smooth, velvety mouthfeel that delivers a profound sense of calm and clarity, honoring the rigorous standards of elite Japanese tea masters.

☀️ The Prestige of Single-Origin Ujitawara Terroir

Ujitawara's unique soil composition, morning mountain mists, and severe temperature fluctuations yield tea leaves with unparalleled depth and aromatic complexity:

• Breathtaking Imperial Jade Hue – Milled from pure, flawless shaded tencha, producing a naturally sweet, intensely vibrant green liquor that serves as the gold standard of ceremonial visuals.

• Explosive, Creamy Sweetness – Packed with sweet L-theanine amino acids, providing a rich, rounded, and savory umami creaminess that blankets the palate without a single trace of bitterness.

• 100% Pure, Single-Ingredient Luxury – Absolutely zero added sugars, preservatives, colorings, or fillers. Just 100% unadulterated, historical tea mastery from Kyoto.

🥄 Traditional Ritual Preparation Guides

🍵 As Usucha (Traditional Thin Tea):

1 Carefully sift about 1.5g to 2g (approx. 1 level teaspoon) of Shokien matcha into a pre-warmed ceremonial tea bowl.

2 Gently pour in 60ml to 70ml of hot water (strictly cooled to around 80°C / 176°F to avoid scalding the delicate amino acids).

3 Whisk rapidly in a vigorous "M" or "W" motion using a fine-pronged bamboo whisk (chasen) until a dense, velvety layer of creamy micro-foam beautifully crowns the surface.

✨ As Koicha (Traditional Thick Tea):

Due to its exceptional sweetness and total lack of bitterness, this elite grade is highly recommended for thick tea preparation.

1 Sift 3.5g to 4g (approx. 2 rounded teaspoons) of matcha into your bowl.

2 Add just 30ml of hot water (80°C / 176°F).

3 Instead of whipping into a froth, use your bamboo whisk to gently knead, stroke, and massage the paste back and forth in a slow, steady motion until it dissolves into a glossy, velvety green syrup.
