MATSU matcha No.003 Hand-Picked Premium — Uji (20g)
Creamy and rich in umami, beautifully complex with lasting depth and presence.
- Description
- About Our Signature Range
No.003 is our most elevated Uji blend, crafted with hand-picked Okumidori and Samidori. Hand picking remains rare in modern matcha production, requiring significant skill and effort at harvest.
From the first sip, a creamy texture unfolds into pronounced umami, natural sweetness and refined bitterness. Intensity builds with structure and depth, revealing a complexity that lingers long on the palate.
Uji is the birthplace of the matcha we recognise today, cultivated and refined for over 800 years. No.003 reflects that heritage — a refined expression of Uji craftsmanship.
MATSU matcha No.001-003 are exclusive blends created in collaboration with an esteemed Japanese tea sommelier. Each blend is meticulously crafted to bring out the unique flavour profiles specific to the renowned matcha regions Kyoto and Kirishima. A perfect go-to for both usucha (straight matcha, akin to drip coffee) and lattes.
