Samidori さみどり Kyoto Matcha

Samidori, "fresh green," is a classic Uji cultivar, long prized by Kyoto's tea masters. Grown in Kyoto, the historic heart of Japanese matcha, it carries the vivid color and balance that made it a cornerstone of fine shaded tea.

Stone-milled from select first-harvest leaves shaded in the traditional tana style for 30 days, this single-cultivar matcha is vivid green and remarkably balanced. Sea greens open the cup, followed by candied walnut and a crisp, bright finish of green apple.

Made for koicha and usucha, for those who value harmony and tradition.
