WHAT IS MATCHA?
Matcha is a premium green tea, but it’s so much more than just a drink. Made from the finest leaves grown in the shade of Uji, Japan, matcha is a finely ground powder that’s rich in flavor, antioxidants, and nutrients. Unlike regular tea, where you steep and discard the leaves, with matcha, you consume the entire leaf—meaning you’re getting the full benefit of everything it has to offer.
The process begins with hand-picking tender tea leaves, carefully drying them, and grinding them into a fine powder using traditional stone mills. The result? A smooth, vibrant green powder that you whisk into hot water or milk, creating a creamy, energizing beverage.
What sets matcha apart is its unique balance of caffeine and L-theanine, a calming amino acid. This combination provides a sustained, focused energy that keeps you grounded throughout your day—no jitters, just clarity and calm. It’s not just a drink; it’s a ritual, one that connects you with centuries of Japanese tradition and the art of true craftsmanship.
At Ukiyo, we’re passionate about bringing you matcha that is not only rich in flavor but in history, quality, and purpose. Every sip is a step toward a more mindful, vibrant moment in your day.
