Description
The Legacy of Uji: The Shōgun's First Harvest “Samidori Superior Blend “
Experience peak Japanese tea craft with Shōgun Matcha's First Harvest Samidori Blend.
Our matcha is cultivated in an exclusive partnership with a prestigious 300-year-old family farm, masters of their craft and former winners of the prestigious Kansai Tea Award. This blend honors the "Samidori" cultivar, renowned for its high quality and depth.
As a true ichiban-cha (first harvest), only the youngest, most tender leaves are hand-plucked in early spring. They are then meticulously stone-milled in the traditional way, a slow and deliberate process that creates an impossibly fine powder and preserves its full spectrum of nutrients and flavor.
The result is a matcha of profound quality. It whisks into a vibrant, a warm emerald green color , releasing a subtle, floral aroma. On the palate, it is exceptionally smooth, revealing a deep, sweet umami foundation that gives way to balanced notes of mild nuttiness.
This is the standard of excellence, reserved for the true connoisseur.
