This amazing Tezumi Grade Handpicked Ceremonial Matcha - Samidori is not your usual matcha from Uji but comes from Shizuoka. Although Shizuoka is famous for its other teas, not matcha, it's where some of Japan's best teas come from. This matcha lets you taste top-quality tea without spending a ton.
Shizuoka is known for making lots of Japan's tea. Even though it's not famous for matcha, the people there know their stuff when it comes to growing tea. This matcha is special because it's handpicked, focusing on the young, tender leaves that give the best flavor. Handpicking means smoother and better quality matcha than the ones picked by machines.
When you make it koicha style (which means thicker and with less water), this matcha tastes incredible. It's smooth, not bitter, and reminds you of melted white chocolate with a hint of peanut butter. It's more than just tea; it's a luxury treat from the first to the last sip.
The Samidori cultivar, used for this matcha, but don't confuse it with Saemidori. Samidori is great for making shaded teas like gyokuro and tencha, leading to matcha that smells amazing and has a rich flavor that tea lovers will adore.
Samidori is tough and grows straight up, so it's easy to pick by hand. It's a very resilient plant, doing well in cold and having a long picking season, which is great for tea farmers. However, it can be affected by some plant diseases.
We've tried hundreds of different matcha, adding Samidori to our selection means offering an extraordinary matcha experience. Whether you're a matcha pro or just starting, the Tezumi Grade Handpicked Ceremonial Matcha - Samidori is something special, truly standing out in the world of tea.
