Yuzan

Yuzan by Saijoen – A Refined Expression of Uji-Grown Elegance

Crafted by Saijoen, an esteemed tea producer in Uji, Kyoto, Yuzan is a first-harvest matcha that embodies balance, depth, and quiet luxury. Available exclusively at Ujicha Matcha, this ceremonial-grade powder is made from tender, shade-grown leaves picked at peak season, then stone-milled to a silken finish. The result is a vibrant green matcha with a rounded umami base, a whisper of sweetness, and an elegant, lingering aroma that invites mindfulness with every sip.

Yuzan is exceptionally versatile—sublime as usucha (thin tea), refined enough for koicha (thick tea), and elevated in matcha lattes where its complex flavor still shines. Whether enjoyed during a morning ritual or a moment of calm in the afternoon, this matcha invites you to slow down and savor beauty in the everyday.

You’ll love Yuzan if you seek a matcha that feels indulgent, yet grounding—a daily luxury that supports your well-being with each cup.
