Tempo

Tempo is our foundation for matcha – steady, balanced, and versatile. Its flavor is smooth and full, with delicate sweetness and a touch of earthiness, making it just as enjoyable whisked straight as it is in a latte. This tea is crafted under the guidance of Hiroshi Kobayashi, a renowned tea appraiser and blender whose family has cultivated tea in Uji since 1827. With his hand, Tempo becomes more than a daily standard; it’s a reflection of Uji’s centuries-old matcha tradition, shaped by volcanic soil, river mist, and the quiet, but steady rhythm of careful farming and artful blending.
