This matcha tea from the city of Uji has a particularly elegant taste and aroma.
This tea belongs to the brand ‘Ichigo ichie’, a tea ceremony expression meaning that the tea master and his host should keep in mind that this tea ceremony is a unique encounter and that both parties should be sincere towards each other.
Good to know: prepared from the youngest tea leaves, Uji matcha is so named because it comes from the town of Uji, near Kyoto. The town is famous for its tea mainly because of its climate combining hot sunny summers and very cold winters, which guarantees the growth of the best quality green tea leaves.
About Chasho Rokubei
Founded in 1818 in Kyoto, the Chasho Rokubei tea house has been a family business for over 200 years. While the core business remains Uji matcha tea and blended matcha teas, Chasho Rokubei also offers single-origin teas, i.e. from a single variety and a single grower. All growers are carefully selected and many of the teas meet organic standards. The packaging is based on the famous illustrated scroll and national treasure ‘Chôjû-giga’ from Kyoto’s Kôzanji temple, with the temple’s permission.
