Our organic matcha comes from Uji, Kyoto, a region celebrated as Japan's matcha capital and revered for its role in traditional Japanese tea culture. Nestled between lush mountains and rivers, Uji has a unique climate and fertile soil, ideal for cultivating premium matcha. For centuries, this region has been a hub of Japanese tea production, where the art of matcha-making intertwines with cultural values of mindfulness and Zen.
Uji’s people have upheld the traditional techniques of matcha cultivation, hand-harvesting, and processing to preserve the essence of purity and calm that define Japanese tea rituals. Today, Uji remains a place where the spirit of tranquility and attention to detail lives on, infusing each cup of matcha with a taste of Japan's timeless beauty and cultural heritage.
My holy grail essence!
This is the only essence I have ever found that not only feels good on my skin, but also makes a real difference in my skin’s hydration, plumpness, texture, and appearance. I started using it a few years ago when I found it at an Ulta. Since then, I have no longer been able to find it there, so I buy it directly from Kitao’s website, as I couldn’t find any other product that compared to this one. This product is so refreshing and moisturizing without feeling heavy or sticky like some essences can. Please never stop making this amazing product!
