About

Cultivated for us, curated for you

Our matcha comes from a tea house that’s been doing this long before matcha was an aesthetic. Over 160 years ago, they literally saved Uji tea from disappearing — no exaggeration. The founder was such a legend they built a bronze statue of him beside Byodo-in Temple, right in the heart of Uji.

That same family still leads Japan’s tea tradition today, carrying on the craft that made Uji a global name. Their standard hasn’t changed: grow it right, mill it fresh, never cut corners. We just happen to share that obsession — keeping their legacy alive, one fresh tin at a time.

Old roots, fresh leaves.
