Description Indulge in the bold flavour of our Premium Ceremonial Grade Matcha Powder, crafted from the popular Kanayamidori cultivar. Celebrated for its a bit deeper green colour and robust umami, this matcha offers a powerful and invigorating matcha experience. Kanayamidori features a good balance of flavour and smoothness, offering a flowery fragrance with a milky taste. Robust Flavour: A strong, full-bodied taste with a pronounced umami profile, making it a favourite for those who appreciate a more intense matcha. Deeper Green Colour: Shade-grown to produce a rich, dark green hue, indicative of its high chlorophyll content and premium quality. Smooth and Velvety: Finely ground to achieve a velvety texture and a perfect frothy finish. Ideal for: Daily use, traditional tea ceremonies, and gourmet matcha lattes. Price: Generally lower than Okumidori but still offers a high-quality matcha experience. It is generally seen as slightly less prestigious than the top cultivars of Okumidori, Saemidori, Samidori, Tsuyuhikari.  Dairy-Free, Gluten-Free, GMO-Free, Sugar-Free, Vegan, and Vegetarian.

Kanayamidori vs Other Cultivars Umami-Rich: Kanayamidori boasts one of the highest umami content among the cultivars, providing a deeply savoury and satisfying matcha experience. Strong and Intense: Compared to Saemidori, which offers a rich, creamy sweetness, Kanayamidori delivers a more robust and intense flavour with pronounced bitterness. Darker Green Hue: While most top-tier cultivars produce vibrant green colours, Kanayamidori stands out with its deeper, darker green hue. Full-Bodied Taste: Offers a stronger, more full-bodied taste compared to the balanced flavours of Seimei and the lighter, more delicate Tsuyuhikari. Note: This comparison is based on general perceptions and can vary depending on individual taste preferences. More Details Exclusive Harvest: Directly sourced from the top-notch boutique farms.
