Matcha Okunoyama

Matcha Okunoyama by Horii Shichimeien – A Ceremonial Gem from Uji, Kyoto

Step into the serene ritual of Japanese tea with Matcha Okunoyama by Horii Shichimeien, now available exclusively at Ujicha Matcha. Grown in the revered tea fields of Uji, Kyoto—a region known as the birthplace of Japanese matcha—this exceptional first-harvest matcha embodies over 150 years of artisanal craftsmanship.

With its vibrant jade hue and velvety texture, Matcha Okunoyama offers a truly refined flavor experience. The taste is delicately layered: a deep, savory umami richness is balanced by subtle sweetness, gentle bitterness, and a lingering aroma reminiscent of spring greens and fresh earth. Each sip is smooth and rounded, with a creamy finish that speaks to its high concentration of tender, shade-grown tea leaves.

Crafted for ceremonial use yet versatile enough for modern rituals, Matcha Okunoyama shines in both usucha (thin tea) and koicha (thick tea) preparations. For those who enjoy an elevated wellness moment, it also blends beautifully into premium matcha lattes, offering a luxurious, antioxidant-rich twist to your daily routine.

What sets this matcha apart is its heritage. Horii Shichimeien, founded in 1879, remains one of the oldest and most respected tea producers in Uji. Their commitment to traditional cultivation and stone-milling methods ensures that every tin of Matcha Okunoyama delivers both beauty and authenticity—perfect for those who savor intentional living and aesthetic pleasure.
