This one plays for keeps. Organic #18 Uji Matcha blends the rich, velvety punch of Okumidori with the crisp, refreshing lift of Yabukita — both organically grown in Uji, Kyoto, and stone-milled to perfection.
It’s smooth, full umami with a hint of earthiness, balanced by a gentle sweetness and just enough bitterness to keep things interesting. The deep green froth isn’t just pretty — it’s proof of pure, shade-grown leaves and zero shortcuts. Drink it pure, over ice, or as the boldest latte in the room.
