Uji Hikari Matcha

Uji Hikari is a prize-winning cultivar famed for producing high-quality matcha and gyokuro. This offering from Chicago-based Noble Fat is a perfect example of the creamy, sweet, and intensely umami flavor profile we look for in a top-tier matcha. Performs impeccably as both usucha(thin tea) and koicha(thick tea). For matcha lattes and daily drinkers we recommend our house Mox Emerald Matcha.
