   (If you don't have a tea whisk, please use a small whisk.)
3. Add some ice.

   * If the matcha does not dissolve, pour the matcha solution through a sieve and adjust by adding boiling water a little at a time.

It's highly praised in Japan!

“The color is beautiful and the taste and aroma are good. The matcha was very fine and dissolved quickly in hot water, leaving no residue. I drink matcha with every meal, so I buy more when it runs out. It's amazing that you can buy matcha of this quality for this price.”

“I love Starbucks matcha lattes, and I wanted to make my own at home. And I found this one with good reviews. The matcha aroma and taste are great, and it's easier to use than other matcha I've bought. It's also easy to dissolve. This product tasted better than the matcha lattes I buy from convenience stores."

Features of Uji Matcha

Some people may find it surprising, but Uji Matcha is not a "bitter" tea.

Uji tea leaves are rich in nutrients such as dietary fiber and vitamin A. When made into powder, the nutrients from the tea leaves will also be contained, so you can enjoy the nutrients from Uji matcha.

What is Kyoto Uji Matcha?

”Kyoto Uji Matcha” and “Uji Matcha” are different.

“Kyoto Uji Matcha” is matcha made only from tea leaves produced in Kyoto Prefecture.

Uji, Kyoto is the home of matcha cultivation since 16th century.  A comprehensive perspective of history, culture, geography, and weather makes Uji tea cultivation well known.

According to the Kyoto Prefecture Tea Industry Association, Uji tea is also produced in the four prefectures -  Kyoto, Nara, Shiga, and Mie, harvested and processed by a company in Kyoto.

However, only green tea harvested and produced in Uji can be branded "Kyoto Uji matcha".

Even if the tea is grown in Nara, Shiga or Mie Prefecture, plucked and processed by a Kyoto-based company, it can be only called "Uji matcha”.
