Crafted with Intention
From the misty hills of Uji to your cup.
Precision & Patience
At ZEN, we believe that true luxury lies in the details. Our tea masters oversee every step of the cultivation process, ensuring that only the finest leaves—shaded for weeks to boost chlorophyll and umami—make it to the stone mill.
Unlike industrial processing, our granite stone mills grind the leaves slowly to prevent heat damage, preserving the delicate enzymes and vibrant color that define ceremonial-grade quality.
From Leaf to Powder
The traditional process of crafting Uji matcha.
Shaded Growth
Tea bushes are shaded for 3-4 weeks to boost chlorophyll and L-theanine.
First Flush
Only the youngest, most tender leaves are hand-picked in early spring.
Steaming & Drying
Leaves are steamed within hours to lock in color and nutrients, then dried into Tencha.
Stone Grinding
Tencha is ground by granite stone mills into a fine, micron-sized powder.
Final Blend
Master tea blenders ensure consistency in flavor and color for every batch.
