Tsujiki Seicha, Uji-Shirakawa.

Fifth-generation farmer Kiyoharu Tsuji has worked the fields for over 40 years. He is the only matcha producer in Japan to have been awarded by the Emperor for his matcha. Recipient of the Minister of Agriculture, Forestry and Fisheries Prize and the Prime Minister’s Award.

More than 90% of tencha in Japan is machine harvested. At Tsuji-san’s tencha farm every leaf is picked by hand and only harvested once per year in May.

This is authentic Uji matcha. Grown, shaded, hand-picked, and stone-ground in Uji, the way it has been done for 800 years. No shortcuts. No compromise. True craftsmanship passed down through generations. taken in Uji, Kyoto by @tea.huset

This what they do not tell you about “ceremonial grade Uji matcha.”

“Ceremonial grade” does not exist. There is no legal or official grading system for matcha in Japan.

According to the Kyoto Prefectural Tea Industry Council, tencha grown across four prefectures, Kyoto, Nara, Shiga and Mie, can legally be labelled “Uji Matcha,” provided it is finished and processed within Kyoto Prefecture. Less than 1% actually comes from Uji city itself.

Real matcha starts as tencha, leaf grown under two layers of shade to build umami and reduce bitterness. Lower quality matcha is often made from sencha, unshaded leaf, which lacks both the flavour and the true green colour shading produces. Some lower grade matcha relies on added colouring instead.

Authentic Uji matcha is hand picked first harvest, shaded for 25 to 40 days and stone milled in micro batches, harvested once a year to concentrate nutrients and flavour. Matcha sold under the broader Uji label may be machine harvested, blended from undisclosed cultivars, and machine ground.

What actually matters is origin, harvest method and who processes it.

Our matcha comes directly from Uji city, from Tsujiki Seicha, Prime Minister Award winner and recognised by the Imperial Family of Japan.
The taste tells the truth.

Most hojicha tastes ashy or smokey. This one doesn’t.

Crafted by Tsuji-San from @tsujiki_uji.shirakawa in Uji city, the only tencha producer honored by the Emperor of Japan. Tsujiki harvests once a year, by hand. This hojicha is made from what’s left after that harvest’s tencha is processed, then roasted slowly at low temperature. Notes of cacao and nuts.

Hojicha is traditionally a byproduct of matcha production. Because it’s roasted rather than steamed, it’s naturally low in caffeine.

Available now, for the first time in Europe at:

Tea drunk is real, and gongfu cha is what gets you there.

Tea carries caffeine and L-theanine together, a combination coffee lacks, supporting calm focus rather than a spike and crash.

Gongfu brewing turns that chemistry into a feeling: three times more leaf than a normal cup, ten or more short infusions, an hour of slow drinking. The caffeine and theanine arrive gradually, steep by steep, and the ritual slows you down with it. it leaves you with a calm, warm and a little floaty feeling.

Have you ever felt tea drunk?

The birthplace of black tea is found at the Tongmuguan mountain pass deep in the Wuyi Mountains of Fujian province in China.

Every black tea worldwide traces back to this place. It sits inside a UNESCO-protected nature reserve, closed to foreigners, with restricted access even for Chinese visitors. The tea trees grow wild on in the mountains and are harvested by hand once a year in May.

In May , our producer @tong_xin_she brought us here. We are honoured to share what we found.
Wild grown black tea from this years harvest in Tongmuguan is now avaliable in our loose leaf collection.
