ZEN is a premium ceremonial grade matcha grown exclusively in Uji, Kyoto, the birthplace of Japanese matcha. Our tea master carefully blends select Uji-grown tea cultivars to achieve depth, balance, and a refined expression of umami, a matcha for those who want a richer, more luxurious cup.
Full-Bodied, Hand-Picked First Harvest Matcha
ZEN is made from hand-picked first-harvest tea leaves that are tana-shaded under traditional black shade canopies before harvest. This slow, shaded growth allows the leaves to develop a rich umami character and a silky, smooth texture.
Full-bodied yet beautifully balanced, ZEN offers a luxurious richness that unfolds across the palate, leaving a clean, elegant, and lingering finish. It shines when whisked as traditional usucha, and its depth also makes an exceptional koicha or premium matcha latte.
