Balanced, approachable, and refined enough to be enjoyed both in traditional preparation and with milk, without sacrificing the purity or character that defines his work.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cbr\u003eThat versatility is only possible because of what this matcha actually is: genuine first-harvest Uji tencha, cultivated under 95% shading, fertilised at twice the volume of a typical farm, and hand-picked once a year at peak freshness.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cbr\u003eMost matcha labelled “ceremonial grade” is a marketing term with no official standard in Japan. This is something different, a matcha made by a producer whose teas have been served to the Emperor, judged against Japan’s finest at national competition, and recognised by the Prime Minister. That is the standard this matcha is held to.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eA note on quality\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eCeremonial grade” is not a defined standard in Japan. Anyone can use it. We don’t.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cbr\u003eWhat we can tell you is this: the Okegawa Reserve Blend is made by Kiyoharu Tsuji, one of the most decorated tencha farmers in Japan. His teas have been produced for the Emperor and Imperial Family of Japan. He has won the Minister of Agriculture Award six times. He received the 56th Prime Minister’s Award for Agriculture, one of the highest honours in Japanese agriculture.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Tsujiki Seicha","offers":[{"title":"20 g tin","offer_id":56322587197826,"sku":null,"price":45.0,"currency_code":"CHF","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0938\/7229\/2226\/files\/E22AE97F-3426-47AF-BE8E-DECF9DC5F01F.jpg?v=1772578718","url":"https:\/\/www.teahuset.com\/products\/tsujiki-seicha-okegawa-reserve-blend-matcha","provider":"Tea Huset","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
