  Single Origin Single Estate Matcha refers to matcha made from tea leaves grown on a specific farm within a defined region, ensuring both farm and geographical consistency in flavour.

Unique story behind this matcha:

Tea picking in Uji takes place for three weeks each spring, with 30 to 40 pickers working around the clock in shifts from 6 am to 6 pm daily.

Uji tea is grown using high-quality organic fertilisers, including rapeseed, sesame, and fish fertiliser. Pressed fertilisers are preferred over chemical-based fertilisers, with the fish fertiliser offering a pleasant scent upon delivery.

Each tea ridge in the tea farm has its own unique aroma, distinct from matcha but recognisably \"tea.\" As the leaves open, a powdery fragrance fills the air, enhancing the tea-picking experience.

In Japan, the japanese camellia \'tsubaki\' by which matcha is from comes in a variety of types. Known to be used in Japanese tea rooms, the camellia is a flower with an eternal beauty. All of our Keiko Uchida matcha is named after different camellia varieties.
