SUITENDO "Uji no Shiro" is a ceremonial-grade Uji matcha powder from Kyoto, delivering balanced umami, gentle sweetness, and pure Japanese origin in a 30g airtight tin.
Harvested and processed entirely in Japan's historic Uji tea region, this 30g (1.06oz) tin preserves a traditional matcha profile prized for its smoothness and refined flavor. The powder is suited for classic usucha (thin tea) and modern matcha drinks alike, and it arrives in a dual-layer, airtight canister designed to protect aroma and color. Whether you're preparing a mindful tea ritual or adding matcha to lattes and baking, this product emphasizes authenticity, quiet complexity, and consistent quality.
What flavor can I expect from Uji no Shiro?
Uji no Shiro offers a harmonious balance between natural umami and subtle sweetness with very low bitterness. The processing emphasizes smooth texture and clarity of green tea notes so each sip feels rounded and clean.
- Delicate umami presence typical of Uji-grown leaves.
- Light, sweet finish suitable for plain whisked tea or milk-based drinks.
- Minimal astringency, making it approachable for new matcha drinkers.
How should I prepare this matcha for everyday drinking?
For traditional usucha, sift 1–2 grams of powder into a warmed bowl, add about 60–80 ml (2–3 fl oz) of 70–80°C water, and whisk briskly in an M or W pattern until frothy. Adjust powder and water to taste for thicker or thinner consistency.
- Usucha ratio: roughly 1–2 g powder per 60–80 ml water.
- Use water below boiling (70–80°C) to preserve sweetness.
- Whisk 15–30 seconds to create a smooth crema and dissolve powder.
Can I use Uji no Shiro in lattes, smoothies, and recipes?
Yes — its refined sweetness and low bitterness make it versatile in both hot and cold preparations. It blends well with milk, plant milk, syrups, and baked goods without overpowering other flavors.
- Matcha lattes: dissolve with a splash of warm water, then add steamed milk.
- Smoothies: add 1–2 g to fruit or protein blends for color and mild green tea flavor.
- Baking: fold into batters or frostings for an elegant matcha note.
How does the packaging preserve freshness and quality?
The powder is sealed in a rigid tin with an inner lid that blocks light, air, and moisture—factors that degrade aroma and color. This dual-layer protection helps retain the bright green hue and subtle volatile flavors from first opening to final use.
- Airtight tin canister with inner sealing lid for oxidation protection.
- Compact 30g size reduces the time between opening and finish for peak freshness.
- Labeling shows origin as Uji, Kyoto, confirming full Japanese production.
