Kento Inoue: Partly Handpicked Tatsuya Uji Matcha

Single Cultivar, Naturally Grown, Premium Ceremonial Grade Uji Matcha

30g

This Uji matcha has been crafted from partially handpicked tea leaves. Tea farmer Kento Inoue has blended leaves from two of his organically cultivated Samidori tea fields. Both fields are canopy shaded meaning the leaves are left undamaged before harvesting. Half the leaves are hand picked and half have been picked using hand held machinery. 

This bright green matcha has an extremely smooth, velvety mouthfeel. There is a strong umami flavour with toasty, creamy notes.
