A city of World Heritage Sites featuring temples and shrines centuries old, Kyoto is a showcase of traditional Japanese culture. Uji-cha, or tea from the city of Uji, just south of Kyoto, is a cornerstone of the thousand-year history of Kyoto and thus Japan.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eUji-cha is regarded as the origin of Japanese tea production, where the Buddhist monk Eisai started the first tea fields to provide tea to the country's nobility. The leaves are grown primarily in surrounding municipalities (Ujitawara, Wazuka, etc.) and refined by factories in Uji. Uji-cha production dates back to the Kamakura period (1185-1333), and in the 13th century tea fields were founded near the famous Byodo-in temple. As time went by the name of Uji-cha spread throughout Japan, and Sen-no-rikyu, the priest who made the tea ceremony famous, played a critical role in establishing the region's fame. Today, Uji-cha is known for high quality tea such as gyokuro and matcha, as Shizuoka and Kagoshima dominate production of tea on the whole.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e","products":[{"product_id":"azuma-tea-garden-samidori-matcha-cultivar-series","title":"#0113.K6 Samidori no Ka - Samidori Cultivar Matcha, Naturally Grown by Azuma Tea Garden, Standard Ceremonial Grade Matcha 早緑の馨","description":"\u003cp\u003e\u003cspan style=\"color: rgb(255, 99, 71);\"\u003e\u003cem\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eNOTE: \u003c\/strong\u003ePlease note that this matcha is sold out until the next season (October 2025 at earliest).

However, producers buy many different production lots from many different farmers. Their skill, the reason why we call them master blenders, is in blending the leaves prior to grinding to create a specific profile in terms of powder color, powder aroma, grain size, matcha color, and most importantly the flavor of the matcha.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eWhile the harvest season can make a big difference in quality since larger autumn leaves will be more bitter and more difficult to grind into fine powder, the harvest year is not necessarily important particularly right after the spring harvest (May - August). At this time, leaves may actually be too fresh to make good matcha--their flavor may create matcha that is very strong in umami but also too bitter. Meanwhile, leaves that have aged over the past year will be more mellow and perfect for balancing the fresh leaf.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eMatcha however does get old quickly after grinding. In 6 months after grinding the color will fade, and the aroma will disappear. After 9 months, the strength of the flavor will also fade. As a result, higher grade matcha tends to have a best by date of 3-6 months, while lower grade matcha has a best by date of 12 months in Japan. Western brands often have a 18-24 month shelf life though.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eAs a rule, we do our best to ensure that the Yunomi branded matcha is never older the 6 months from grinding, and that matcha other brands are never older than 6 months from procurement.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Yunomi.Tea","offers":[{"title":"30g \/ 1 oz \/ Refill Bag in Gift Can and Box","offer_id":32668212887657,"sku":"YMC03-030","price":5000.0,"currency_code":"JPY","in_stock":true},{"title":"MULTIPACK 300g (30g x 10 refill bags) \/ 10.6 oz","offer_id":28482823061609,"sku":"YMC03-030x10","price":40000.0,"currency_code":"JPY","in_stock":true},{"title":"250g \/ 8.8 oz \/ Silver Stand-up Resealable Bag","offer_id":41093765103721,"sku":"YMC03-250","price":25000.0,"currency_code":"JPY","in_stock":true},{"title":"MULTIPACK 1kg (250g x 4 Resealable bags) \/ 2.2 lbs","offer_id":39967429165161,"sku":"YMC03-250x4","price":99000.0,"currency_code":"JPY","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0926\/4578\/files\/yunomi.matcha_Standard_Ceremonial_Grade.jpg?v=1753922854"},{"product_id":"shogyokuen-standard-gyokuro-tsuki-no-hikari","title":"#0630.K6 Shogyokuen: Kabusecha, Tsuki no Hikari　祥玉園　かぶせ茶 月の光","description":"\u003cp\u003eShogyokuen Tea Factory's Tsuki no Hikari, is a \u003ca href=\"https:\/\/yunomi.life\/collections\/kabusecha\" data-mce-href=\"https:\/\/yunomi.life\/collections\/kabusecha\"\u003ekabusecha\u003c\/a\u003e, but as sweet as many \u003ca href=\"https:\/\/yunomi.life\/collections\/gyokuro\" data-mce-href=\"https:\/\/yunomi.life\/collections\/gyokuro\"\u003egyokuro\u003c\/a\u003e at major tea brands.

However, producers buy many different production lots from many different farmers. Their skill, the reason why we call them master blenders, is in blending the leaves prior to grinding to create a specific profile in terms of powder color, powder aroma, grain size, matcha color, and most importantly the flavor of the matcha.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eWhile the harvest season can make a big difference in quality since larger autumn leaves will be more bitter and more difficult to grind into fine powder, the harvest year is not necessarily important particularly right after the spring harvest (May - August). At this time, leaves may actually be too fresh to make good matcha--their flavor may create matcha that is very strong in umami but also too bitter. Meanwhile, leaves that have aged over the past year will be more mellow and perfect for balancing the fresh leaf.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eMatcha however does get old quickly after grinding.

The 6th tea master, Masao Nakai, began organic and non-pesticide cultivation in 1980, a time when few people were concerned about producing organically. Aiming to create an agricultural system that coexists with the natural environment of the beautiful mountains, Nakai-san was a pioneer in the tea industry of Kyoto. His son, 7th tea master Michio Nakai, continues this tradition today.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Nakai Tea Farm","offers":[{"title":"[2025] 10g \/ 0.35 oz \/ May \/ Yunomi Sample Bag","offer_id":41480959524969,"sku":"nksc-fk01-10-y25","price":600.0,"currency_code":"JPY","in_stock":true},{"title":"[2025] 100g \/ 3.5 oz \/ May \/ Yunomi Resealable Bag","offer_id":41480959557737,"sku":"nksc-fk01-100-y25","price":3700.0,"currency_code":"JPY","in_stock":true},{"title":"[2025] 1kg \/ 2.2 lbs \/ May \/ Bulk Bag\/ JAS organic certified","offer_id":41480959590505,"sku":"nksc-fk01-1kg-y25","price":34000.0,"currency_code":"JPY","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0926\/4578\/products\/image_ddb6bd4b-cd28-4183-b245-4fb63fa2fc0e.heic?v=1692260470"},{"product_id":"heritage-grade-uji-matcha-asahi-single-cultivar-by-master-kyoto-tea-farmer-tsuji-kiyoharu","title":"#0676.K6 Tsujiki: Asahi Imperial Ceremonial Grade Single Cultivar Uji Heritage Matcha by Master Kyoto Tea Farmer Tsuji Kiyoharu (20g) 辻喜の伝統本抹茶あさひ","description":"\u003cp class=\"video\"\u003e\u003ciframe src=\"https:\/\/www.facebook.com\/plugins\/video.php?href=https%3A%2F%2Fwww.facebook.com%2F100007885321866%2Fvideos%2F2563284393944380%2F\u0026amp;show_text=1\u0026amp;width=560\" width=\"560\" height=\"383\" style=\"border: none; overflow: hidden;\"\u003e\u003c\/iframe\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eWorld renowned farmer Kiyoharu Tsuji’s tencha (the green tea used for matcha) has won \u003ca href=\"https:\/\/tsujiki.jp\/about-en\/\" title=\"Tsuji Kiyoharu Awards\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\" target=\"_blank\"\u003enumerous awards\u003c\/a\u003e at the Kyoto, West Japan (Kansai), and National levels.

NOTE: For freezer storage, double-seal in a plastic ziplock bag and tupperware container for maximum freshness and to avoid other food smells from affecting the matcha. Always allow the bag to sit for 24-hours before unsealing to acclimate to room temperature. This avoids condensation from damaging the matcha powder.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\u003ch2\u003eHow much does 30 grams of matcha make?\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eIt depends on how thick you make your matcha and how much you make, but if you use 1 gram (about 1\/3 teaspoon) to make a 100 ml cup, that's 30 cups of matcha!\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch2\u003eDid you know matcha is best when it's freshly ground?\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eHow good your matcha is depends of course on the quality of the underlying leaf. However, producers buy many different production lots from many different farmers. Their skill, the reason why we call them master blenders, is in blending the leaves prior to grinding to create a specific profile in terms of powder color, powder aroma, grain size, matcha color, and most importantly the flavor of the matcha.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eWhile the harvest season can make a big difference in quality since larger autumn leaves will be more bitter and more difficult to grind into fine powder, the harvest year is not necessarily important particularly right after the spring harvest (May - August). At this time, leaves may actually be too fresh to make good matcha--their flavor may create matcha that is very strong in umami but also too bitter. Meanwhile, leaves that have aged over the past year will be more mellow and perfect for balancing the fresh leaf.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eMatcha however does get old quickly after grinding. In 6 months after grinding the color will fade, and the aroma will disappear. After 9 months, the strength of the flavor will also fade. As a result, higher grade matcha tends to have a best by date of 3-6 months, while lower grade matcha has a best by date of 12 months in Japan. Western brands often have a 18-24 month shelf life though.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eAs a rule, we do our best to ensure that the Yunomi branded matcha is never older the 6 months from grinding, and that matcha other brands are never older than 6 months from procurement.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\u003c\/ul\u003e","brand":"Yunomi.Tea","offers":[{"title":"30g \/ 1 oz \/ Refill bag in Gift Can \u0026 Box","offer_id":32165478629481,"sku":"YMC02-030","price":6800.0,"currency_code":"JPY","in_stock":true},{"title":"MULTIPACK 300g (30g x 10 refill bags) \/ 10.6 oz","offer_id":32165478695017,"sku":"YMC02-030x10","price":55000.0,"currency_code":"JPY","in_stock":true},{"title":"250g \/ 8.8 oz \/ Yunomi Label","offer_id":42342815596649,"sku":"YMC02-250","price":37500.0,"currency_code":"JPY","in_stock":true},{"title":"MULTIPACK 1kg (250g x 4 Resealable bags) \/ 2.2 lbs \/ Produced on demand","offer_id":41946059178089,"sku":"YMC02-250x4","price":150000.0,"currency_code":"JPY","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0926\/4578\/files\/IMG_5823.jpg?v=1770683951"},{"product_id":"shogyokuen-matcha-iwai-no-shiro-premium-ceremonial-grade","title":"#0626.K6 Shogyokuen: Iwai no Shiro, Premium Ceremonial Grade Modern Matcha 祝いの白","description":"\u003cp\u003eThe delicious blend of \u003ca href=\"https:\/\/yunomi.life\/collections\/tencha\"\u003etencha\u003c\/a\u003e leaves (tea leaf processed into flakes) by master blender, CEO Hiroshi Kobayashi, has created an exquisite matcha for tea ceremony practitioners.
