Uji no Shiro

Uji no Shiro by Izumien Meicha Honpo – A Refined Matcha for Your Daily Ritual

Elevate your wellness ritual with Uji no Shiro, a premium Japanese matcha crafted by Izumien Meicha Honpo, now available at Ujicha Matcha. Grown in the rolling hills of Uji, Kyoto—Japan’s most revered matcha-producing region—this ceremonial-grade powder is a celebration of centuries-old craftsmanship and nature’s quiet elegance.

Uji no Shiro is made from first harvest tencha leaves, shade-grown and carefully stone-milled to preserve its vibrant green hue and delicate flavor profile. The result is a smooth, velvety matcha with a balanced taste—deep umami and gentle natural sweetness, softened by a subtle bitterness that lingers just long enough to awaken the senses. The aroma is fresh, grassy, and lightly floral, inviting a calm pause in your day.

Whether whisked into a traditional usucha (thin tea), prepared as a luxurious koicha (thick tea), or blended into a creamy oat milk latte, Uji no Shiro delivers a moment of serene indulgence in every cup. Its quality and versatility also make it a standout for light culinary creations—from matcha tiramisu to smoothie bowls.

What sets Uji no Shiro apart is not only its provenance and purity but the quiet luxury it brings to your everyday life. Thoughtfully packaged and beautifully balanced, it's matcha for those who find beauty in detail and wellness in ritual.
