From the moment Hijiri no Sato touches your flavor palate, you’ll experience a silky umami depth, a gentle natural sweetness, and an elegant freshness reminiscent of the morning mist over Uji’s rolling tea fields.

Its flavor profile is deeply rooted in Japanese tea heritage, echoing the refined matcha once reserved for imperial tea ceremonies in the Edo period. As you take a sip, a clean, refreshing aftertaste unveils itself—much like the quiet serenity of a tea farm at dawn.

This is matcha for connoisseurs and seekers of true tea craftsmanship.

1. Sift Matcha: Using a fine mesh strainer or traditional matcha sifter, sift your desired serving size of matcha into your chawan (matcha bowl). This removes any clumps and ensures a smooth, velvety texture.

Serving Size
Usucha (薄茶) Light & Frothy: 1-2g (Approx. 1 tsp.)
Koicha (濃茶) Thick & Intense: 3-4g (Approx. 2 tsp.)

2. Add Warm Water: Pour a small amount (about 20ml) of warm water into the chawan. If using a temperature-controlled kettle, set it to (175°F / 80°C) for optimal flavor. No temperature control? No problem! Simply boil water, then pour it into a teacup and let it sit for about 1-2 minutes to naturally cool to the right temperature before adding it to your matcha.

3. Whisk: Add remaining 50-60ml of warm water into the chawan. Hold your chasen (bamboo whisk) upright and whisk using a W-shaped or zig-zag motion, ensuring air is incorporated. Whisk vigorously for 15-20 seconds until a creamy foam forms on top. Once your matcha is smooth and frothy, take a moment to breathe in its fresh aroma before taking a sip!
