Single-cultivar Matcha from Nishio, Aichi.

This is a limited offering of the classical Uji cultivar Samidori, harvested in May 2025. This unique Matcha is perfect for learning about Terroir and cultivar-specific flavours. With its long shading this machine-harvested tea offers an excellent value due to lesser known growing region and direct-sourcing: suitable for Usucha and mix drinks. We recommend this classical Uji cultivar especially for Matcha Tonic as well as a refreshing warm Usucha.
