Victory in Small Steps: TWO Matcha at Katsuo-Ji
At the foot of the mountains in Minoh, Katsuo-Ji has long been a place where warriors, students, and merchants came to steady their hearts before a challenge. This autumn, TWO Matcha is honoured to share two limited teas with the temple—small rituals of focus, drawn from the first harvest leaves of Wazuka, Kyoto.
TWO Matcha Now at Lanikai Café 🌺🍵
A new arrival in Osaka’s Kitashinchi, Lanikai Café brings a touch of Hawaiian ease to the city. Alongside fresh malasadas, you’ll now find our matcha — whisked into lattes, stirred into hōjicha, and waiting in tins for you to take the ritual home.
Why Organic Uji Matcha Is So Rare — And Why It Matters
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 Uji matcha, you’re tasting centuries of dedication.
