Matsuo Tea Garden

#0906.N2 Yunomi.Matcha: Kurumy - A Toasty, Modern Matcha from Matsuo Tea Garden, Nagasaki (Single Cultivar: Seimei)

Sourced from the esteemed Matsuo Tea Garden in Higashi Sonogi, Nagasaki, this ceremonial-grade matcha is crafted from first flush Seimei cultivar leaves using an innovative processing method that combines steaming with simultaneous pan-roasting, resulting in a distinctly toasty and nutty character. The unique technique creates a rich, walnut-forward flavor profile with subtle bitterness that sets it apart from traditional matcha preparations. Ideal for both traditional whisked matcha and modern matcha lattes, this single-origin powder delivers a complex sensory experience that appeals to discerning matcha enthusiasts. Matsuo Masatoshi, the tea farmer behind this creation, is an award-winning producer who has received both the minister's award and Japan's prestigious emperor's cup, reflecting his mastery of tea cultivation and processing.
