Indulgent Uji Matcha, Selected for Lattes.

Matcha stays the lead, even in milk. Selected by a fourth-generation Kyoto tea merchant for how it tastes, smells, and looks as a latte. 100% matcha, with no sugar, flavoring, or milk powder.

SELECTION

Matcha Is Not the Supporting Act.

Not every matcha works the same way in milk. Simply adding more powder can bring out bitterness and a chalky texture.

So we turned a tea merchant's way of judging appearance, aroma, liquor color, and taste toward the cup made with milk. The leaves are chosen for how their taste, aroma, and color hold as a latte.

WHY WE MAKE THIS

Bringing Uji Matcha Back, for the Latte.

Matcha is not only a bowl whisked at the table. Around the world, the matcha latte, made with dairy or plant-based milk, has become an everyday drink.

In Japan, "matcha" still brings to mind fine tea taken as a single serving, while abroad it is the latte that keeps spreading. The distance between the two is not small. Uji matcha chosen for how it performs in a latte has yet to reach the everyday cup.

Together with a Kyoto tea merchant, ICHIZEN proposes Uji matcha made for the latte. Through a cup whose aroma, color, and umami remain even with milk, we want to give the world's latte scene a reason to choose Uji.
