This unique Matcha is made for learning about Terroir and cultivar-specific flavours. With its long shading this machine-harvested tea offers an excellent value due to lesser known growing region and direct-sourcing: suitable for Usucha and mix drinks. We recommend this classical Uji cultivar especially for Matcha Tonic as well as a refreshing warm Usucha.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eOrigin: Nishio, Aichi, Japan\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eCultivar: Samidori\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eShading: 40 days with Tana-shading\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eHarvest: May 2025, machine-harvested\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eStone-Milled: \u003cmeta charset=\"utf-8\"\u003e\u003cspan\u003eAll our Matcha is freshly milled by order and is stored at 2°C once it arrives in Germany\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eTaste: Umami, Refreshing, Vegetal, slightly astringent and bitter\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eFAQ\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003ctable\u003e\u003ctbody\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eHow fresh is this Matcha?\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eOur Matcha is milled in Japan in small batches close to order and stored at 2 °C from the moment it arrives in Germany.
