What is Uji Matcha,
The Excellent Green Powder from Southern Kyoto, Japan

Uji Matcha is a matcha produce in Uji City, Kyoto Prefecture, Japan, which is well-known for its superior quality of tea from the 1100s. They are considered to have the highest quality of tea cultivation in Japan.

The following processes make uji matcha.

1. Hand-picked the uji green tea leaves.
About two weeks before tea picking, the leaves are covered by the so-called Yoshizu Tana that is a wide rack made by sandalwood so that they are not exposed to direct sunlight.
2. Steamed the picked tea leaves to prevent unevenless.
3. Dried the tea leaves.
4. Break the leaves into small pieces and gently remove the veins.
5. Spread and dry the leaves.
6. Gently grind the dried tea leaves with a stone mill into the finished matcha.

Amazing Benefits of Matcha

In recent years, matcha has become increasingly popular not only because of its taste but because matcha also has benefits for health and beauty effect. Because matcha is 100% finely grounded green tea leaves into a fine powder, it has lots of nutrients from other teas.

In fact, the nutrients in one cup of matcha are equal to 10 cups of green tea.

Here are some benefits of consuming matcha.

Health Benefit 1 Packed with Antioxidants

Matcha is rich in catechins, particularly epigallocatechin gallate (EGCG) — one of the plant compounds in tea that act as natural antioxidants.

The antioxidants may prevent damage that caused by free radicals, therefore consuming matcha tea could lower the risk of several chronic diseases for your body. A study strongly propose matcha tea as a natural compound that could help to overcome cancer cell resistance to chemoteraphy.

Matcha tea contains 137 times more antioxidants than green tea. That is because every one cup of matcha tea was made with 1 gram of green tea leaf powder containing 143 mg total catechins.

Health Benefit 2 Gives Relaxation Effect

According to studies, the active amino acid (L-theanine) contained in matcha tea induces relaxation effect. L-theanine stimulates the alpha brain waves that could create deep mental relaxation.

This amino acid is responsible to give the umami flavor that becomes the characteristic flavor of tea.

Health Benefit 3 May Help You to Lose Weight

A study shows that drinking 4 cups of matcha tea in 24 hours can enhance fat oxidation by 18% during brisk walking in healthy females. Every one cup is made with 1 gram of matcha tea powder.

This proves that 4 cups of matcha tea’s composition is sufficient on the metabolic responses during exercise (*but please note that there are individual differences for matcha's maximum consumption limit per day due to its caffeine content).

So consuming matcha to start your day might make your workouts and diets more effective.

Health Benefit 4 Gives You Energy

Chlorophyll is a natural green pigment contained in all green parts of plants, including matcha tea.

As chlorophyll creates energy for the plant, they can provide energy to your body.

The energy does not get absorbed in the body but travels through digestive track instead. So it makes you fuller longer and prevent overeating.

Message from The Uji Matcha Producer - Harimaen

We have been doing organic tea cultivation for more than 20 years.

Before that, we took two full days to spray all the tea fields with pesticides. And so we were producing the general agriculture tea that sprayed with pesticide seven to eight times.

One Year in Showa 47Th Year, Summer -. I collapsed in the tea plantation when spraying the pesticide. The doctor said that if I keep spraying the pesticide in hot weather with light clothes like this, eventually I could damage my liver, or I can not ever drink any liquor.

That said, the pesticide will give a heavy burden on anyone who consumes any food with it.

Therefore, we decide to make organic tea cultivation that is pesticide-free and non-chemical fertilizer cultivation.

At first, we had a difficult time with organic cultivation. The harvested tea is decreasing, and other people told us that it is difficult to grow tea plants without pesticides.

But we keep doing the trials and errors for the sake of ourselves, our family, and people who continue to consume our product.

With this motive, our tree becomes more robust, and the harvest is gradually stabilized.

Mr. Harima Yoshiyuki

I am satisfied to deliver this organic cultivation matcha powder to everyone. It is our pleasure to bring safe, healthy products for more than 10 years. Please enjoy Organic Uji Matcha that is carefully made without any pesticide cultivation.
