Tea Master’s Reserve Ceremonial Matcha Blend Blend | First Harvest | Shade-Grown | Stone-Ground | Crafted by a Judan Tea Master Description Buttery, rich, and impeccably smooth — the Tea Master’s Reserve is a ceremonial-grade matcha personally crafted by the legendary Hiroshi, Uji’s only Judan Chashi (Level 10 Tea Master), whose family has been producing tea since 1827. Created from a precise ratio of complementary cultivars, this blend was designed to elevate balance, umami, and daily drinkability. With a creamy body, soft sweetness, and subtle notes of toasted cashew and fresh steamed greens, the Reserve offers a richer experience than basic ceremonial matcha — without stepping into rare or microbatch territory. It’s the ideal matcha for those who want something intentional, elevated, and crafted by one of the most skilled artisans in Japan.
