Chazoku Samidori Ceremonial Matcha 35g Tin | First Harvest Kagoshima | Stone-Milled Single Cultivar

Chazoku Samidori Ceremonial Matcha from Kagoshima

Chazoku Samidori is a ceremonial grade matcha produced from a single cultivar grown in Kagoshima. The first spring harvest is shade grown for 21 weeks, then stone milled on traditional granite wheels to a fine emerald powder. The 35 g tin helps preserve aroma and freshness between uses, inviting you to explore a vibrant cup and a sense of tradition in every whisk.

Flavor and aroma are central to Samidori. The powder delivers hazelnut and chocolate undertones with a creamy body and a clean finish. The shade grown process helps maintain natural sweetness and a subtle umami, resulting in a balanced cup that shines whether you are preparing a ceremonial bowl or a cafe style drink.
