YANO SEICHAJOU - UJI NO MUKASHI
Uji no Mukashi 40g
Uji no Mukashi is a premium usucha (thin tea) matcha, distinguished by its vibrant green color and refined aroma. Perfect for those who appreciate the essence of Japanese tea, this matcha offers a smooth, delicate texture with a rich yet balanced flavor. Made from the tender first sprouts, it provides a silky mouthfeel without any lingering bitterness.
Unlike koicha (thick tea), which is kneaded, usucha is whisked to create a light yet profound taste experience, reflecting the beauty of Japanese aesthetics. The refined depth of Uji no Mukashi allows for an elegant tea-drinking moment, transforming an ordinary day into something special.
Frequently asked questions
DOES MATCHA EXPIRED OR PASSED ITS BEST DATE?
Matcha does not “expire”. The date on the can is the manufacturer’s best before date, which is the manufacturer's suggested date of when the matcha will taste at its peak umami.
How fresh is our matcha?
- All our matcha is freshly picked from most time.
- Their shelf life follows the manufacturer's guide, which varies from 3 to 12 months (mostly: 6–10 months).
- If a product’s BBD date is very close or part of a promotion, we clearly label it as a separate variant so you can choose knowingly.
How should I store my matcha?
- Before BBF date: Store in a cool (<25°C) and dry place, or in the fridge.
- Closer to BBF date (around 2 weeks before): Move to the freezer to maintain umami and greenness flavour.
- After BBF date: You can keep it in the freezer and enjoy for a few extra months.
- Tip: Once you take it out of the freezer for use, return it immediately to avoid moisture affecting the umami.
