Shimizuya Kyoto Blend Matcha 50g

A ceremonial grade blend built around hand-picked first flush Samidori from the Shimizu family's own farm in Uji, rounded out with additional Kyoto-grown first flush tea. Stone ground on a traditional ishi-usu. This is a matcha designed for usucha. Dynamic and bright with a light grassy quality and a sense of upward energy. Well-balanced and rich without heaviness, with a clean, refreshing character and a lighter umami profile than many ceremonial matchas. A sweet, dense aftertaste lingers nicely. Subtle bitterness may be present but never dominates. Mild and smooth as a latte, though this matcha really shines whisked in a bowl.
