OUR MATCHA
At MICHI we are proud to present a unique and diverse selection of the highest quality Japanese matcha exclusively from the Uji region
Sourced from independent, and award-winning small businesses that have developed and refined their individual growing techniques and processes over centuries
EXCLUSIVELY SOURCED FROM UJI, JAPAN
Uji matcha is considered to be the best and highest quality matcha in the world
This is because the special growing and processing methods that are used to produce it have been developed and refined over generations
SHADE GROWN
The tea plants are shaded from sunlight for several weeks before harvest. This increases the chlorophyll, l'theanine and amino acid content of the leaves, giving matcha its bright, almost luminescent, vivid green colour and sweet umami flavor
STEAMED
What makes matcha, matcha. At MICHI we require the highest quality grade tencha to make ceremonial matcha so uses only the youngest, shade grown tea leaves from the 'first flush', these are picked right at the beginning of the season, in early May
STONE GROUND
Our matcha is stone ground into a fine powder using traditional granite stone mills. This unlocks the flavour and quality of the tea, creating a smooth and creamy texture when blended with water
