Uji no Mukashi (宇治の昔) is a reserve grade, first harvest matcha from Uji, Kyoto — a quiet, refined expression of Japan's most storied matcha region.
The color is a vivid deep green, the particles ultra-fine and uniform. The taste opens gently, then deep umami and elegant sweetness unfold gradually across the palate. Bitterness stays in the background, and the texture is velvety and creamy through to a serene finish with notes of fresh greens, white chocolate, sweet bean, and pistachio.
Origin: Uji, Kyoto | Grade: Reserve Ceremonial | Cultivar: Blend (Samidori, Gokou, others) | Harvest: 1st Harvest | Supply: ~30 kg/month
Recommended for Koicha and Usucha. Available as a 30g sample and in 1kg wholesale bags.

Anonymous Good matcha, grind is very very fine that it needs a specific way to make it right. Overall very very good as well as taste many of my family and friends say it tastes more expensive than the one I normally make which was called by the team UMAMI.
