Tsujiki Okegawa Reserve Blend

Tsujiki Okegawa Reserve Blend — Award-Winning Uji Matcha at Ujicha Matcha

Tsujiki Okegawa Reserve Blend is a refined Japanese matcha crafted by Tsujiki, an award-winning Uji tea producer led by fifth-generation tea master Kiyoharu Tsuji. Produced in Shirakawa, Uji — one of Japan’s most celebrated tea-growing areas — this reserve blend reflects a rare balance of deep tradition and forward-thinking craftsmanship.

Kiyoharu Tsuji is dedicated to pursuing “ultimate tea,” honoring traditional Uji production methods while continuously refining technique and quality. His work has earned some of the highest honors in Japanese tea production, including the Minister of Agriculture, Forestry and Fisheries Award for tencha six times, as well as the prestigious Prime Minister Award at Japan’s national Agriculture, Forestry and Fisheries Festival. Each batch reflects that award-recognized standard.

Stone-ground from carefully selected Samidori leaves, Okegawa Reserve Blend reveals a vivid green color and exceptionally fine texture. The flavor is smooth and layered, with rounded umami, natural sweetness, and a clean, gentle finish with very low bitterness. When whisked, it produces a creamy body and refined aroma that make each bowl feel calm, focused, and indulgent.

It’s a matcha designed for elevated daily rituals — equally suited for a quiet traditional preparation or a carefully crafted latte.
