Matsu Kaze - Uji Matcha Tenmyou (30g)

This premium ceremonial matcha comes from Ujitawara in Kyoto and is made from a first flush harvest picked in early June, then carefully stone-ground. Produced from a single cultivar, Tenmyou, and grown on a single-estate tea field at 250 m altitude, it showcases a vibrant, deep green colour. The aroma is chocolatey and malty, while the flavour is creamy, rich, and well balanced, with grassy undertones and a delicate hint of bitterness. The finish is smooth and airy. Best enjoyed in the traditional style, whisked with hot water.
