Uji: The Heart of Japanese Matcha
Tucked into the misty hills of Kyoto, Wazuka isn’t just a place on the map—it’s the soul of Japanese matcha. For over 800 years, tea has been grown here using time-honored techniques passed down through generations. With its unique microclimate, mineral-rich soil, and deep-rooted tea culture, Wazuka remains the gold standard for matcha. When you sip Wazuka matcha, you’re tasting centuries of dedication.
Just 1%: The Rare World of Organic Matcha
During a recent visit to one of our partner farms, a tea grower shared how they spend countless early mornings hand-weeding their fields to avoid using herbicides. That kind of dedication is rare—and it’s part of why certified organic Wazuka matcha makes up less than 1% of Japan’s total matcha production. The humid climate and steep terrain demand hands-on care, and without pesticides or synthetic fertilizers, it’s a true labor of love.
Why It Matters
Matcha is unlike other teas—you’re consuming the entire leaf, not just an infusion. That’s why purity matters. Organic farming not only protects the soil and surrounding ecosystems but also preserves the authentic taste of the tea. When grown without chemicals, matcha develops a clean, balanced flavor that reflects the natural environment it comes from. Choosing organic is a way to support healthier farming, cleaner products, and a more mindful world.
The Tea With Origin Difference
Tea With Origin isn’t just about offering matcha—we’re here to reintroduce it with transparency and care. Our matcha comes from a single origin, using a single cultivar, so you can experience the purest expression of matcha. We work directly with our farming partners, visiting the fields and learning their stories. Each tin reflects a place, a season, and a relationship built on trust. We don’t chase trends or mass production—we honor the slow craft of real tea.
From Soil to Ceremony
There’s something grounding about preparing matcha. The soft whisking sound. The vibrant green color. The quiet moment before the first sip. Our matcha is stone-milled in small batches and air-shipped to preserve its freshness. It tastes smooth, earthy, and naturally rich in umami—no bitterness, no harshness, just balance. Whether you're making a daily ritual or a weekend treat, this tea invites you to slow down and reconnect.
