Uji Matcha is one of the most prestigious powdered green teas in Japan, produced in the Uji region near Kyoto. This region has been recognized for centuries for its ideal climatic conditions and unique expertise in tea cultivation.
What distinguishes Uji Matcha from other teas:
Superior quality: It is grown using traditional methods, with carefully controlled shading before harvest to enhance its flavor and richness in L-theanine, an amino acid that provides a feeling of relaxation.
Refined aroma: It offers deep, slightly sweet, and umami vegetal notes, with a characteristic hint of bitterness.
Used in the tea ceremony: Uji Matcha is prized for Japanese tea ceremonies, but it is also increasingly used in pastries and confections, such as in the KitKat Itokyuemon Uji Matcha.
Itokyuemon is a prestigious Japanese tea house founded in 1832 in Uji. For nearly 200 years, it has specialized in the production of high-quality matcha, perpetuating ancestral know-how while innovating with modern products.
Why is Itokyuemon so renowned?
Craftsmanship: The brand carefully selects the finest tea leaves and applies traditional stone grinding techniques.
Exceptional teas: It offers a wide range of green teas, including matcha, sencha, and gyokuro, which are highly appreciated by Japanese tea enthusiasts.
Matcha Delicacies: In addition to pure tea, Itokyuemon creates refined confections and desserts made with matcha, such as mochis, ice creams, and KitKats in collaboration with Nestlé.
Nos stocks sont maintenues à 20 °C et nous utilisons des camions réfrigérés jusqu’à l’aéroport pour protéger vos KitKats. Cependant, une fois les envois quittant le Japon, nous ne pouvons plus contrôler la température pendant le transport. S’ils sont exposés à des températures de 28 °C ou plus pendant une période prolongée, les chocolats peuvent légèrement ramollir ou fondre.
Ainsi, si votre pays connaît de fortes chaleurs en été, merci de réfrigérer vos KitKats pendant au moins une heure avant d’ouvrir les sachets.
Cela n’affectera en rien leur goût.
Nous n'accepterons pas les retours pour cause de chocolat fondu.
Merci de votre compréhension !
Our stocks are maintained at 20 °C and we use refrigerated trucks up to the airport to protect your KitKats. However, once the shipments leave Japan, we can no longer control the temperature during transport. If they are exposed to temperatures of 28 °C or higher for an extended period, the chocolates may slightly soften or melt.
Therefore, if your country experiences high temperatures in summer, please refrigerate your KitKats for at least one hour before opening the packs.
This will not affect their taste.
We will not accept returns due to melted chocolate.
Thank you for your understanding!
