Shimizuya Barista Blend Matcha 50g

Sourced from Uji, Kyoto by Shimizuya—a tenth-generation matcha producer—this barista blend combines hand-picked first flush Samidori from the family's own fields with additional Kyoto-grown teas, then stone-ground using traditional methods. Crafted specifically for matcha lattes and creative beverages, it delivers a smooth, integrated character with notes of milk chocolate and a bright, lightly sweet finish that truly shines when combined with milk. While equally capable as a traditional whisked tea with its remarkably clean flavor and pleasant coating aftertaste, this blend's balanced umami and easy foam production make it an exceptional choice for craft matcha drinks.
