Hello everyone, I'm Keko, one of the online staff members.
Today, I’m excited to share a story about one of the most exceptional matcha teas in the world: Matcha Premium Hatsu-Mukashi.
This matcha is not just a beverage; it’s a symbol of Uji’s proud tea-making heritage and a testament to the artistry that goes into crafting truly premium matcha.
A Masterpiece from Uji
Matcha Premium Hatsu-Mukashi is grown in the celebrated tea fields of Uji, a region synonymous with the highest-quality Japanese tea. This matcha is crafted using only the youngest and most tender tea leaves, ensuring an unparalleled flavor profile that’s smooth, sweet, and rich in umami.
But what makes it truly extraordinary? Let’s dive into the meticulous process behind its creation.
Crafted with Care and Precision
Shade-Grown Perfection
The journey begins weeks before harvest when the tea bushes are carefully shaded to block sunlight. This process, known as tana, enhances the tea leaves’ chlorophyll content, giving them their vibrant green color and deep, complex flavor. Only the finest leaves are chosen for Matcha Premium Hatsu-Mukashi.
Hand-Harvesting Excellence
The leaves are picked by hand to ensure that only the highest-quality tea is used.
Stone-Ground for Purity
After steaming and drying, the leaves are ground using traditional stone mills. This slow, careful grinding process produces the ultra-fine powder that defines premium matcha. The result is a tea with an incredibly smooth texture and an aroma that captivates the senses.
The Flavor of Tradition
Matcha Premium Hatsu-Mukashi delivers a harmonious balance of flavors. The initial taste is velvety and rich, followed by a lingering sweetness that feels like a warm embrace. This matcha is perfect for traditional Usucha (thin tea) preparation, allowing you to fully appreciate its refined character.
Why It’s So Rare
The rarity of Matcha Premium Hatsu-Mukashi lies in the immense care and time required to produce it.
Owning this matcha is like holding a piece of Uji’s tea-making history in your hands—a tribute to the artisans who have dedicated their lives to perfecting the art of tea.
