Kagoshima Matcha Premium - 30g

High grade organically grown Matcha from the Kagoshima area made from Saemidori, Yabukita and Okumidori cultivars. The Saemidori cultivar is especially popular for its sweetness and umami flavour. Yabukita is known for its balance of umami, sweetness and grassinesswhile Okumidori stands out for its fresh aroma and rich umami taste.

With his many years of experience in organic tea cultivation and processing, Mr. Sakamoto gets the maximum potential from his tea leaves. The rich umami flavour is also attributed to the organic fertilizer he has been developing for over 30 years.

He is able to set up his new gyokuro production line so that the leaves are gently steamed using the asamushi method and dried to resemble modern Tencha processing as closely as possible. From this Tencha, after removing the veining, he makes his Matcha teas by grinding them on granite stones.

Matcha can be said to be produced in the 'ancient way', as it used to be before the development of the 'tencha-ro' kiln currently used to dry Tencha material.

The Matcha is packaged in a metallic bag with a zipper that allows convenient opening and closing.
