You love depth. Search for the essence. And don't just want to drink matcha - you want to understand it. Welcome to Takeno Jôô Uji Matcha - a tea made for those who want more than just taste. This is where centuries-old tradition, organic purity and masterful craftsmanship come together - in just a few tins, worldwide.

The total global production of this matcha is less than 1.1 kilograms.
Thanks to our long-standing partnership with the Nakanishi tea family, we were able to reserve a few 30g tins for you. You are not just holding a tea in your hands, but a living tea culture - perfect for profound moments of pleasure, mindful tea ceremonies at home or as a study object for discerning palates.

True craftsmanship from Uji

The Takeno Jôô Uji Matcha comes from the famous tea garden of the Nakanishi family in Uji - the region that is considered the place of origin for high-quality drinking-grade matcha. The family has been practising controlled organic cultivation there since 1980, completely without chemical additives - instead with deep respect for the plant and the earth. The 1.25-hectare plantation is shaded every spring with elaborate black nets. This allows the leaves to develop maximum chlorophyll and umami - with minimal bitterness.

Every single leaf is picked by hand, carefully processed into tencha and then ground into the finest powder in a traditional stone mill. Without mechanical help. Without any compromises

Why this matcha is special

• 100% handmade: from harvesting to bottling
• Certified organic according to EU regulation (DE-ÖKO-039)
• Only harvested once a year - in tiny quantities
• Shrub selection with maximum umami content
• Uji-typical taste profile: soft, sweetish, tart-free

Its namesake, the legendary tea master Takeno Jôô (1502-1555), was a pioneer of modern tea aesthetics. His principle of wabi simplicity lives on in every cup of this matcha: restraint, depth, truthfulness. On the tin you will find the saying of his teacher Murata Jukô: "It is good to tie a noble steed to a straw hut." A simple vessel - with a tea of incomparable depth.

Taste & color

In the bowl, the Takeno Jôô shines in a rich, vibrant green - almost fluorescent. The first sip surprises with a fine fruity aroma, dense and clear - without any bitterness. What remains is a soft, creamy finish with an almost honey-like sweetness on the palate.
In short: a matcha for real explorers.
