Main Character

The aroma opens with sweet pea and a subtle seaweed-like note. Once whisked, it deepens into a character reminiscent of konbu, bringing a savory dimension to the cup, reflecting the tana shade cultivation method.

Its subtle bitterness truly shines in milk or other preferred bases. It also froths exceptionally well, creating a latte that feels smooth and balanced, where the tea’s natural umami gently rounds out the sweetness.

This blend brings together 3 cultivars: Okumidori, Yabukita, and Samidori. Okumidori lends a deep, vibrant green hue, while Samidori, a Kyoto-born cultivar, contributes smooth umami and a soft sweetness. Yabukita provides balance and structure. True to its name, these cultivars form a matcha that is composed, confident, and memorable.
