What Is Uji Shimizu Matcha by Ippodo?

Uji Shimizu is a ceremonial-style matcha blend carefully crafted by Ippodo to deliver the experience of Kyoto’s finest teas in a more approachable form. It’s made from shade-grown green tea leaves, stone-ground into a fine, vivid green powder and blended with subtle sweetness to balance the natural umami of matcha. Unlike some stronger ceremonial matchas, Uji Shimizu has a gentle, pleasant flavour that can be enjoyed both as a traditional tea or as a light, energizing drink throughout the day.
