Uji is the cradle of Japanese tea culture and where the tea farmer cultivates the tea plants for this exquisite matcha. He uses special fertilisers that he creates himself and which he personally applies to the fields in the spring and autumn. Rather than using pesticides, the tea farmer uses his own spray made of essential oils and other ingredients. A further safeguard for the high quality of the matcha is his 3-layer shading system. With this system, he can adjust the degree of shading depending on the cultivar, seasonal conditions, and wind strength. All these factors come together to produce a matcha that is on par with the highest ceremonial grade matcha from conventional cultivation.
This elegant matcha is made from the exclusive samidori cultivar, which yields a strong character with umami and savoury overtones. A robust and revitalising matcha with wild herb and moss notes that finishes with a pleasantly nutty and delicate sweetness. One of the best organic matchas from Japan.
