Uji Matcha is one of the most prestigious powdered green teas in Japan, produced in the Uji region near Kyoto. This region has been recognized for centuries for its ideal climatic conditions and unique expertise in tea cultivation.

What distinguishes Uji Matcha from other teas:

Superior quality: It is grown using traditional methods, with carefully controlled shading before harvest to enhance its flavor and richness in L-theanine, an amino acid that provides a feeling of relaxation.
Refined aroma: It offers deep, slightly sweet, and umami vegetal notes, with a characteristic hint of bitterness.
Used in the tea ceremony: Uji Matcha is prized for Japanese tea ceremonies, but it is also increasingly used in pastries and confections, such as in the KitKat Itokyuemon Uji Matcha.

Itokyuemon is a prestigious Japanese tea house founded in 1832 in Uji. For nearly 200 years, it has specialized in the production of high-quality matcha, perpetuating ancestral know-how while innovating with modern products.

Why is Itokyuemon so renowned?

Craftsmanship: The brand carefully selects the finest tea leaves and applies traditional stone grinding techniques.
Exceptional teas: It offers a wide range of green teas, including matcha, sencha, and gyokuro, which are highly appreciated by Japanese tea enthusiasts.
Matcha Delicacies: In addition to pure tea, Itokyuemon creates refined confections and desserts made with matcha, such as mochis, ice creams, and KitKats in collaboration with Nestlé.
