TOMOSAN Japanese Organic Matcha Powder 100g — Ujitawara Kyoto Tencha, Stone-Milled Ceremonial Quality

TOMOSAN Japanese Organic Matcha is a stone-milled, USDA-certified organic green tea powder from Ujitawara, Kyoto, offered in a 100g tin for ceremonial and culinary use.

Harvested in the misty hills of Ujitawara near Kyoto, TOMOSAN matcha is produced from shade-grown Tencha leaves that are stone milled into a fine, vivid-green powder. The brand emphasizes small-batch craftsmanship, organic farming practices in place since the 1970s, and a texture suited for traditional whisking as well as modern baking and beverages. This product bridges Japanese tea tradition and everyday versatility, packaged to preserve aroma and color.

What makes TOMOSAN matcha authentically Japanese?

TOMOSAN matcha uses Tencha leaves cultivated in Kyoto’s Ujitawara region, then steamed, dried, and ground on slow stone mills to retain delicate chlorophyll and aroma. The origin, farming methods, and milling process mirror practices used in ceremonial-grade matcha production.

• Grown in Ujitawara, Kyoto — a historically recognized tea region.
• Shade-grown Tencha leaves for richer color and flavor.
• Traditional stone milling preserves fine particle size and aroma.
• Produced in small batches for consistent quality.

How does this matcha differ from powdered green tea?

Matcha and powdered green tea start from different leaf types and farming treatments. Matcha is made from Tencha (shade-grown, de-veined) and yields a concentrated, vibrant powder; powdered green tea typically comes from sun-grown Sencha leaves that are steamed and crushed, producing a different flavor and texture.

• Matcha: Tencha leaves, shade-grown, stone-milled for smoothness.
• Powdered green tea: usually Sencha, sun-grown, rolled then powdered.
• Matcha offers a creamier froth; powdered green tea has a lighter, grassier note.
• Use matcha for ceremonial whisking and premium recipes; use powdered tea for lighter infusions.

How do I prepare and use TOMOSAN matcha at home?

Preparing TOMOSAN matcha is simple: sift the powder, whisk with hot (not boiling) water until frothy, or blend into smoothies and recipes. The fine stone-milled texture dissolves easily, making it adaptable for drinks, baking, and savory applications.

• Traditional: sift 1–2 grams, whisk with 70–80°C water until frothy.
• Culinary: add 1–2 teaspoons to batters, frostings, or smoothies for color and flavor.
• Storage: keep sealed in a cool, dark place to protect color and aroma.
• Yield: 100g provides many servings for daily use or baking projects.

Is TOMOSAN matcha organic and suitable for special diets?

TOMOSAN matcha is USDA-certified organic and comes from pesticide-free tea gardens that have followed organic farming since the 1970s. The powder is naturally vegan and gluten-free, making it compatible with a variety of dietary preferences.

• USDA organic certification ensures no synthetic pesticides or fertilizers.
