Matcha Flower sits at the highest end of the Uejima Sourokuen matcha range currently stocked by UJIHA.
Made by a fifth-generation Japanese tea producer, Flower is intended for drinking as matcha, where its aroma, colour and flavour can be experienced without being hidden by milk or other ingredients.
Enjoy it as usucha for a lighter bowl or prepare it as koicha for a thicker and more concentrated matcha experience.
From Uejima Sourokuen
Uejima Sourokuen is a family tea producer founded in 1835 and based in Wazuka, Kyoto, one of the important tea-producing areas associated with the wider Uji tea tradition.
Nearly two centuries later, the family continues its work under fifth-generation tea farmer and tea master Noriyasu Uejima.
Noriyasu Uejima is known for his skill in growing and evaluating Japanese tea. He has been recognised for achieving a perfect score in Kyoto’s historic tea-tasting competition, a rare achievement in the competition’s history.
Matcha Sourced by The Ritz-Carlton, Kyoto
Uejima Sourokuen’s matcha is also sourced by The Ritz-Carlton, Kyoto.
The luxury Kyoto hotel sources matcha from Noriyasu Uejima, connecting the work of this fifth-generation producer with one of Kyoto’s best-known luxury hotels.
Made to Be Enjoyed as Matcha
Flower is a matcha we’d recommend experiencing first with water.
Prepare it as usucha for a lighter bowl, or as koicha, using more matcha and less water for a much thicker and more concentrated preparation.
Koicha puts the character of the matcha front and centre. With no milk, sweetener or large amount of water to soften the tea, the matcha itself becomes the focus.
Original Uejima Sourokuen Matcha
UJIHA sells Flower in Uejima Sourokuen’s original Japanese packaging.
We don’t buy Flower in bulk and repackage it under the UJIHA name. You’re buying Uejima Sourokuen’s matcha under the producer’s own name.
