Ritual 003
Stone-milled in-bar. The observable ritual in a tin.
Ritual 003 is the grade we grind in front of you at the bar. The tencha sits whole until your five minutes begin — mill, whisk, pour, drink. Only this grade and its Champion sibling are milled same-day on-site; everything else comes to us sealed from Uji.
