Description
First Harvest Organic Ceremonial Grade Matcha
Welcome to the world of Ujiha Kotobuki Matcha, where the legacy of the Kobayashi family blends seamlessly with the art of organic matcha cultivation. Nestled in the heart of Uji, Japan, our Kotobuki Matcha represents the pinnacle of first harvest organic ceremonial grade matcha.
Tasting Notes
Ujiha Kotobuki Supreme Organic Ceremonial Grade Matcha presents a rich, dark jade green hue in a finely milled powder. As it blends with water, the aroma unfolds into sweet, buttery, and milky chocolate notes, evoking a sense of indulgence. On the palate, this matcha offers an exceptionally smooth mouthfeel with no astringency, allowing strong umami flavors to emerge effortlessly. The sweetness is pronounced, with the creamy, milky texture harmonizing perfectly with the rich chocolate undertones. The finish is luxuriously smooth, with a lingering sweetness that enhances the tea’s thick, rich character, leaving a gentle yet lasting impression.
How To Prepare Kotobuki
We absolutely adore Kotobuki for its pure, untainted natural goodness. It’s like sipping the essence of a Zen garden. Honestly, this might just be the best organic matcha we’ve ever tasted. Kotobuki is top-tier, and it deserves the spotlight as an usucha (weak tea) and even as a koicha (strong tea). Adding milk or sugar? That would be like putting soy sauce on sushi at a 3-Michelin star restaurant—not necessary and borderline criminal. But hey, it’s your matcha! You wanna turn it into a latte? Knock yourself out! No judgment—okay, maybe just a little.
To prepare Ujiha Kotobuki Supreme Organic Ceremonial Grade Matcha for the perfect cup, follow this simple guide for Usucha (thin tea):
Tools You’ll Need:
- Chawan (bowl)
- Chasen (bamboo whisk)
- Chashaku (bamboo scoop)
- Sifter
Step-by-Step Guide for Usucha:
- Preheat the Chawan: Pour a little hot water into the bowl, whisk with the chasen to soften its tines, and then discard the water. Dry the bowl with a clean cloth.
- Sift the Matcha: Sift about 2 full chashaku scoops (around 2g) of Kotobuki Matcha into the chawan. This prevents clumps and ensures a smooth texture.
- Heat the Water: Boil water and let it cool to about 70°C (158°F). You’ll need about 70ml of water for Usucha.
- Whisk: Add the water to the matcha in the bowl and whisk vigorously in a zigzag (W-motion) until a light froth forms. Aim for small bubbles and smooth foam. It should take about 30 seconds.
- Enjoy: Take a moment to admire your frothy masterpiece, then sip slowly to savor the delicate, creamy flavor of your Kotobuki Matcha.
For Koicha (thick tea), increase the matcha to 4 chashaku scoops (about 4g) and reduce the water to 50ml. Stir rather than whisk, as you’re aiming for a rich, thick consistency without foam.
Organic Matcha: A Promise of Health and Harmony
From the first flush, first harvested in the spring, from the most revered Tana grown tea fields, our Kotobuki Matcha is a symbol of our unwavering commitment to organic farming practices. By choosing pesticide-free matcha, we ensure that each cup you savor not only enriches your health but also respects the delicate balance of nature.
Pesticide-Free First Flush Ceremonial Grade Matcha: A Pure, Luxurious Experience
Kotobuki Matcha is not just any organic matcha. It’s a first harvest, ceremonial grade matcha that’s entirely pesticide-free, embodying a richness in flavor and a legacy of purity. Grown from the esteemed Okumidori cultivar, our matcha offers a sweet, fine powder with a creamy texture, unmatched by any other.

Ujiha Kotobuki’s mission goes beyond providing the finest organic ceremonial grade matcha. We strive to make this luxurious tea a daily indulgence for everyone. Kotobuki is our testament to making high-quality, pesticide-free ceremonial grade matcha affordable and accessible, breaking the barrier that once made such exquisite tea a privilege of the few.
A Unique Legacy in Matcha Cultivation: The Tana Technique
Discover Kotobuki Matcha, where tradition and innovation intertwine under the gentle shade of the “Tana”. In the heart of Uji, Japan, our organic ceremonial grade matcha is cultivated using the unique Tana method, a canopy-like structure that covers our tea fields. Standing about 6 to 7 feet above the ground, this technique is a testament to the skill and care unique to Uji’s tea-making art.
Tana: The Secret to Unparalleled Aroma and Sweetness
The Tana technique, unlike the Jikagise method, provides a nurturing environment for our tea leaves without directly covering them. This superior approach ensures less stress on the tea plants while offering protection from heat and intense sunlight. The result is a matcha with an exquisite noble aroma and elegant sweetness, characteristics that are only produced through this meticulous process.
Experience the Refreshing Environment of Tana Fields
When you step under a Tana canopy, you’re enveloped in an invigorating atmosphere, a direct result of the tea leaves’ “breath”. This unique environment not only rejuvenates your mind and body but also imparts a distinctive quality to our Kotobuki Matcha, making it a premium choice for those seeking pesticide-free ceremonial grade matcha.
Organic and Pesticide Free Kotobuki Matcha: A Reflection of Nature’s Harmony
Our commitment to the Tana shading process reflects in every sip of our Kotobuki Matcha. It’s not just organic matcha; it’s a celebration of the harmony between organic cultivation practices and nature. This technique, exclusive to the Uji region, ensures that our Kotobuki Matcha stands out with its smoothness, umami, and minimal bitterness.
The Tana Difference in Every Cup
Ujiha Kotobuki Matcha is more than just pesticide-free ceremonial grade matcha. Yes it is a first harvest, first flush, handpicked in the spring, and only the nutritious fresh new buds and leaves are harvested. But it is more than that. It’s a symbol of dedication to traditional methods and the pursuit of unparalleled flavor. Experience the difference that the Tana shading technique makes in our organic matcha, bringing you a taste of Japan’s rich tea heritage.

Ujiha Kotobuki Story: Experience Timeless Vitality
In the verdant hills of a serene Japanese village (near Uji), there was an ancient tea farm known for its exceptional green tea leaves. The story of our new matcha product begins here, where tradition meets innovation.
For generations, the Kobayashi family has tenderly cared for their tea plants, respecting the land and its natural rhythm. Their commitment to organic farming was not just a choice, but a legacy passed down through the ages. They believed in the harmony of nature and the importance of preserving it for future generations.
As the world evolved, so did the challenges. People everywhere were seeking ways to improve their health and well-being. The Kobayashi family realized they had a treasure in their hands — their organic green tea leaves, rich in antioxidants, known for boosting the immune system, mental alertness, and improving heart health.
Inspired by this, they began experimenting with a new kind of tea processing, focusing on creating a matcha powder that retained all the health benefits of their organic leaves. After years of refining their techniques, they finally crafted a matcha powder that was not only rich in flavor but also packed with health benefits.
This matcha was different. It was grown without pesticides, preserving the integrity of the soil and the health of the ecosystem. Every sip of this matcha was a testament to the family’s commitment to the planet and their customers’ well-being.
The Kobayashi family decided to name this special matcha “Kotobuki”. The name “寿” itself, meaning longevity, became synonymous with a life well-lived — healthy, balanced, and in tune with nature. As word spread, Kotobuki Matcha became more than just a tea; it became a symbol of a lifestyle, a choice for those seeking to nourish their bodies and souls in the most natural way possible.
Kotobuki Matcha quickly became known not just for its exquisite taste and health benefits but also for its story — a tale of a family’s love for the earth and their passion for improving the lives of others through their organic, health-boosting tea.
Ujiha is proud to bring this exceptional Kotobuki Matcha from the ancient fields of Uji directly to you. We are honored to share the Kobayashi family’s legacy, connecting the world to the heart of Japan’s matcha culture. From the farm to your cup, experience the journey of Kotobuki Matcha, a blend of tradition, health, and the spirit of longevity.
