Jinjiro - Blend Matcha

Kyoto Uji Tea House Yamamoto Jinjiro is a sixth generation tea growing family based beside the Uji River. Its matcha is cultivated using honzu, a traditional shading method practised in Uji for around 400 years. Only first-harvest leaves are used, each carefully picked by hand and processed in the family’s historic style. By combining generations of craftsmanship with evolving techniques, Yamamoto Jinjiro produces distinctive Uji matcha celebrated for its aroma, colour and flavour. 

This made made exclusively from our own field, blending the "Asahi" and "Samidori" cultivars, both Uji tea varieties selected in the early Showa era. It combines the strengths of both cultivars for a rich, full bodied flavour.
