TSUJIRI Decaf Matcha: A Timeless Kyoto Tradition, Reimagined
For over 160 years, TSUJIRI has been famous for the finest matcha from Uji, Kyoto. Now, you can enjoy that authentic matcha flavor any time of day!
TSUJIRI Decaf Matcha was created for everyone who loves matcha but wants to skip the caffeine. Whether you’re enjoying a relaxing evening cup or are an expecting mother, you can experience true Japanese tea culture—without losing any of the rich, delicious flavor. This isn’t just green tea powder; it’s a taste of history and passion in every tin.
The Heritage of TSUJIRI: A Commitment to Uji Quality
Our story began in 1860, when our founder, Riemon Tsuji, started TSUJIRI in Uji, Kyoto—a region famous across Japan as the home of the very best green tea.
A true pioneer, Riemon mastered the art of growing premium Gyokuro and even designed a special tea chest to lock in its fresh, vibrant flavor. His passion for quality helped make Uji tea legendary again.
Today, guided by generations of wisdom, our tea masters carry on his legacy by hand-selecting only the finest leaves. We still use traditional stone mills to slowly grind our matcha, a process that creates an unbelievably rich aroma and a smooth, deep flavor you’ll love.
Every tin of TSUJIRI is a taste of this incredible history.
The Secret Behind Our Decaf: Flavor Without the Buzz
Worried that decaf matcha means less flavor? We get it. That’s why we developed a special, all-natural way to gently remove the caffeine while keeping the authentic taste you love.
Our unique method reduces the caffeine to almost zero—less than 0.4%! It’s smart enough to target only the caffeine, leaving all the goodness behind. This means you still get the beautiful, vibrant green color, the rich, creamy feel, and the wonderfully deep flavor of real matcha.
Now you can enjoy a true matcha moment, anytime. All the amazing taste, with a pure, relaxing calm.
What Does It Taste Like? Zero Compromise on Flavor
Curious if decaf can deliver that true matcha taste? Absolutely. Our Decaf Matcha is bursting with the authentic, high-quality flavor you expect. When you whisk a cup, you’ll see its brilliant green color—a sure sign of freshness.
The taste is clean and smooth, with a gentle, elegant bitterness that comes from using only the best first-harvest tea leaves. Most importantly, you’ll savor the rich umami, the deep and satisfying savory note that makes premium matcha so special. Every sip is creamy, luxurious, and completely satisfying.
What About the Health Benefits?
Matcha is famous for being packed with nutrients, and ours is no exception. Our gentle decaffeination process carefully preserves its valuable health benefits. It’s still rich in antioxidants like catechins that help protect your body.
It also contains L-theanine, an amazing amino acid known for creating a feeling of calm focus. Without the caffeine, you can feel the relaxing effects of L-theanine even more. This makes our Decaf Matcha the perfect choice for meditation, unwinding after a long day, or simply finding your moment of peace.
How to Prepare: Your Perfect Cup in 4 Easy Steps
Creating your own calming matcha ritual is simple and rewarding. For a traditional thin tea (Usu Cha), just follow these steps:
1. Sift: Sift 1-2 teaspoons of matcha into a bowl to get rid of any clumps. This is the secret to a silky-smooth tea!
2. Heat: Warm your water to about 175°F / 80°C. Using water that’s too hot can scorch the delicate flavor.
3. Pour: Add about 2-3 ounces (60-90ml) of the warm water to the bowl.
4. Whisk: Using a bamboo whisk (chasen), whisk quickly in a ‘W’ shape until a beautiful, fine froth appears on top. Your delicious, calming matcha is ready!
Versatile Enjoyment: So Much More Than a Cup of Tea
While wonderful on its own, our Decaf Matcha is incredibly versatile. Its balanced flavor is the perfect base for a creamy matcha latte—hot or iced! Simply mix your prepared tea with steamed milk or your favorite plant-based alternative.
You can also get creative in the kitchen. Blend the fine powder into smoothies and yogurts, or even add it to baked goods like cookies and cakes for authentic Japanese flavor and a gorgeous green color, all without the worry of caffeine.

In our busy world, TSUJIRI Decaf Matcha is an invitation to pause and find a moment of peace. It’s the perfect gift for tea lovers who are sensitive to caffeine and a wonderful way for anyone to enjoy the classic taste of matcha without disrupting their sleep.
