0680.K6 Tsujiki: Samidori – Modern Heritage Grade Single Cultivar Uji Matcha by Master Kyoto Tea Farmer Tsuji Kiyoharu (20g)
Cultivar: Samidori meaning “early green” (not to be confused with Saemidori meaning “young green”)
Cultivation: Cultivated using centuries-old traditional methods with the exception of plastic canopy shading instead of traditional reeds and straw. Tsuji-san also conducts soil analysis monthly and analysis of amino acid content in the leaf (which forms the umami flavor) annually to craft the best leaf year after year. Field used for competition grade tencha as well.
Harvest: May (see variant info for year…in general leaves are aged for about 5 months before grinding is allowed so the newest harvest is released in Oct-Nov). Handpicked for maximum quality.
Processing: Steamed and dried in a traditional tencha oven. Carefully refined removing stems, veins before grinding.
Grinding: See variant info
Packaging: Double sealed with a pull-top can and inner bag for maximum quality preservation. Wooden gift box option available.

YunomiIan-san truly sources amazing matcha. This will be the last of this can, but I can tell you it has been amazing. The vibrancy is perfect. A lush green powder that is sensually soft to the touch. The aroma has faded slightly in the dry powder. The punch isn’t quite as strong with the umami and vegetal notes, but it still makes my mouth water. It whisks very nicely, and the powder stays suspended over a long period. The mouthfeel is smooth. Almost no silt. Flavor is full of marine, umami, and vegetal notes.
