Single-cultivar Matcha from Nishio, Aichi.

This unique Matcha is perfect 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, and at a much more affordable price-point compared to the hand-picked version.

Cultivar: Saemidori

Shading: 40 days with elevated Tana-shading

Harvest: May 2025, machine-harvested

Stone-Milled: February 2026 (refrigerated since then)
