Our Matcha Samidori is a ceremonial grade Japanese green tea sourced from Uji in Kyoto, Japan. It's a single-estate, single-cultivar matcha made from hand-picked, shade-grown Samidori tea leaves stone-milled into a fine powder.
Matcha has a rich cultural tradition, as it is prepared and revered in a Zen-inspired, Japanese tea ceremony. The Japanese Tea Ceremony is celebrated and renowned worldwide for its ritualistic, artistic perfection, and the consumption of the Matcha symbolizes discipline, purification, and selflessness. It is an energizing and refreshing elixir rich in antioxidants and minerals that detoxify the body and boost metabolism while calming and relaxing the mind. Matcha is quite unique among teas since it is whisked into an energizing and refreshing elixir, wherein green tea leaf is consumed along with the potion. It has a delicious mellow green tea flavour in a full-bodied brew with a fresh vegetal or "Umami" flavour.
