Uji tea material
We use tea with clear origin context and do not dilute the profile with cheap blending.
Story
About this product
ICHIZEN was created from the belief that preparing and enjoying matcha should feel as considered as the centuries of craft behind it. We offer uncompromising Uji matcha selected and refined by Wakimoto Jokoen, a Kyoto tea specialist with 50+ years of experience and multiple Kyoto tea-judging competition rank holders.
Price Logic
Why this price?
The price reflects the time and discipline behind leaf selection, refinement, ultra-fine milling, and freshness control rather than staged rarity.
Refined by Wakimoto Jokoen
Appearance, aroma, liquor color, and taste are judged through 50+ years of finishing and tea-evaluation craft.
Ultra-fine milling
Milled into an ultra-fine, uniform powder to protect aroma, color, and mouthfeel.
Freshness-control pack
Nitrogen flushing and light-blocking packaging help protect matcha from oxygen, light, and moisture.
