Overview
Best pick • solid matcha choice from Shirakawa, Shirakawa
Tip: start at ~95°C, then adjust down 3–5°C if it turns sharp.
No name in Japan commands greater respect in the world of matcha than Tsuji. Kiyoharu Tsuji and his son, Koki, are revered for their relentless pursuit of quality, their teas distinguished by an unmatched depth of flavor and a strikingly electric green hue. Handcrafted in the hills of Shirakawa, this extraordinary blend brings together seven cultivars, each nurtured in the nutrient-rich soils of Uji. A testament to generations of mastery.
