THE MATCHA RIOT MANIFESTO

The ceremony was never about the tea.

03 / THE SOURCE

UJI × SHIZUOKA.

Uji-grown tencha. Expertly stone-milled in Shizuoka.

Uji is Japan's most historic matcha region. Its climate, mineral-rich soil, and generations of expertise produce tencha with extraordinary depth, sweetness, and umami.

Carefully selected Uji-grown tencha is finished in Shizuoka using traditional craftsmanship and environmentally responsible practices. The result brings together deep Uji umami, brilliant green color, an exceptionally smooth texture, and a refined finish.
