Shimizuya Kyoto Blend Matcha 50g

Sourced from the Shimizu family's own farm in Uji, Kyoto, this ceremonial-grade blend centers on hand-picked first flush Samidori supplemented with additional early-season tea grown throughout the Kyoto region, then stone-ground using traditional methods. Designed for usucha preparation, it delivers a dynamic and bright character with a light grassy quality and a refreshing, clean profile that avoids the heaviness found in many ceremonial matchas. The flavor unfolds with a delicate umami foundation, subtle sweet notes, and a lingering dense aftertaste, while any bitterness remains pleasantly restrained. This matcha strikes a rich, well-balanced composition that truly excels when whisked in a bowl, showcasing an upward energy and smooth, mild nature.
