Uji Matcha Tea

Uji Matcha Tea Authentic Uji Matcha Tea & Accessories 🍵 Worldwide Shipping 📮 Premium Health Japan was founded by Luke Alcock, an Australian who has lived in Japan since 2017.

Previously a personal trainer and boxing coach in Melbourne, Luke was inspired to create PHJ by his mum, who sadly lost her battle with breast cancer in 2021. Luke and his mum spent years researching diet & lifestyle options that could help fight cancer. Green tea was one of the first focal points at the beginning of the journey. This ended up being the impetus for Luke's venture into matcha. Living in Japan has enabled Luke to establish partnerships with Japanese matcha experts. "From our supplier in Uji, Kyoto, that has been making some of Japan's best matcha for over 270 years, to our Tea Master and consultant Kimiko; we hope you'll enjoy our matcha as much as we do!" - Luke

This Gokō × Samidori matcha is a hand-picked, first-spring harvest from a single Edo-period family estate in Sumiyama, Uji. The tea garden is shaded before harvest, then only the most tender leaves are taken by hand and carefully processed into tencha before being stone-milled in Kyoto in very small batches.

Gokō lends a plush, creamy sweetness and depth, while Samidori contributes luminous colour and a refined, savoury umami. The result is a ceremonial-grade matcha with remarkable smoothness, a dense, velvety foam, and a clean finish that feels composed rather than bitter.

Part of our Signature Uji Series, this 30 g tin is designed for thoughtful tea sessions, quiet morning rituals, and moments when you want to experience Uji at its most elegant.

🌿 The Journey of Matcha Begins Here — in Wazuka, Kyoto 🍵

Deep in the rolling hills of Wazuka, the birthplace of Japan’s finest matcha, the process begins quietly — with freshly picked tea leaves and a cloud of gentle steam.

The first step is steaming. Within moments of harvest, the leaves are steamed to stop oxidation. It’s what keeps that brilliant green color and locks in the nutrients that give matcha its smooth, vibrant taste.

Next, the leaves are laid out on wide, slow-moving drying belts. The air is warm and earthy — the scent of green tea filling the room. As the moisture fades, the leaves transform into tencha, the delicate base of matcha.

Then comes air-sorting. A soft breeze lifts the dried leaves, separating the tender, paper-thin parts from the tougher stems and veins. Only the most delicate leaves continue the journey forward.

Finally, the tea is hand-sorted, with care and precision. What remains is pure tencha — soft, fragrant, and ready to be stone-ground into the fine, jade-green powder we know as matcha.

Each step is deliberate. Each movement — a small act of devotion to centuries of Japanese tea-making tradition.

From leaf to bowl, this is how matcha is born.

Each batch of our matcha is slowly ground on traditional granite stone mills in Uji, Kyoto - a process that takes nearly one hour to produce just 30 grams of the finest matcha powder.

Slow. Precise. Perfectly green. 🍃
