First-harvest Uji matcha for ceremonial preparation

EISAI Organic Ceremonial Pure Matcha Powder is a single-origin Okumidori matcha from Uji, Japan. Made from first-harvest tencha, it has a mild, almost sweet taste, a bright green color, and a velvety, silky texture. It is sold as 100% organic ceremonial grade matcha with Japanese Agricultural Standard (JAS) organic certification.

What gives EISAI matcha its mild taste and bright color?

The tea comes from the first buds of the year. The plants are shaded from sunlight for at least 20 days before harvest. After harvesting, the tencha is kept in a cool environment for several months to age before grinding. This combination produces the matcha’s bright green appearance and mild, almost sweet character.
