Matcha produced by Ujido

Ujido offers a comprehensive range of matcha (powdered green tea) products organized into distinct quality grades, each designed for specific applications and taste preferences.

Ceremonial Grade Matcha

The flagship Ceremonial Grade represents Ujido’s highest quality offering, characterized by its smooth, delicate flavor and vibrant green color. This grade utilizes the youngest tea leaves that undergo traditional stone-grinding processes. Specifically designed for usucha (thin tea) preparation and traditional tea ceremonies, this grade delivers the authentic ceremonial experience.

Ceremonial Blend

Ujido’s Ceremonial Blend presents a unique formulation combining 80% first harvest ceremonial grade with 20% second harvest culinary grade. This carefully crafted blend aims to balance the delicate qualities of ceremonial matcha with enhanced robustness, creating a distinctive flavor profile that differs from pure first harvest varieties.

Culinary Grade Matcha

The Culinary Grade features a stronger, more robust flavor with slightly less vibrant coloring compared to ceremonial grades. Produced from slightly older leaves while maintaining stone-grinding traditions, this grade excels in lattes, smoothies, baking applications, and various culinary preparations where the matcha’s bold character can complement other ingredients.

Specialty Products

Ujido’s specialty line includes innovative products like Black Ginger Matcha, which incorporates unique flavor profiles through added ingredients such as black ginger. These specialty blends undergo stone-grinding with integrated ingredients and target functional beverage applications and health-focused consumers seeking enhanced benefits beyond traditional matcha.

All Ujido matcha grades maintain consistent stone-grinding production methods, ensuring the preservation of traditional processing techniques while meeting diverse consumer needs from ceremonial preparation to modern culinary applications. Learn more about Ujido’s product specifications.

History of Ujido

Ujido traces its roots to 1832 when a humble tea farmer established the foundation of what would become nearly two centuries of matcha excellence in Kyoto’s Uji region, the undisputed birthplace of matcha. The brand’s legacy is deeply intertwined with the broader history of Uji matcha, which spans over 800 years back to the Buddhist monk Eisai’s introduction of tea seeds from China.

Located in the highly desirable Kyoto, Uji region of Japan, Ujido has maintained its commitment to traditional cultivation methods while adapting to contemporary tastes. The company has witnessed and participated in the evolution of matcha from its ceremonial origins to its modern applications in culinary arts and specialty beverages.

Throughout its history, Ujido has adhered to the time-honored techniques of shade growing, hand-picking, and stone grinding. Their production process involves careful steaming and grinding at precisely 48 revolutions per minute, producing only 30 grams of powder per hour per stone grinder to preserve the delicate properties of the matcha.

The brand’s dedication to quality is evident in their various matcha grades, from ceremonial to culinary applications. Their Ceremonial Blend represents a unique approach, combining 80% first harvest ceremonial grade with 20% second harvest culinary grade, creating a distinctive flavor profile that balances tradition with accessibility.

Today, Ujido continues to operate from its ancestral home in the Uji region, maintaining the authentic Japanese matcha guidelines that have defined quality for centuries. The company stands as a testament to the enduring legacy of traditional matcha cultivation, bridging nearly two centuries of expertise with modern consumer needs.
