【A Taste of the River's Bounty - Joyo Samidori -】 The Renowned "Samidori" Variety, From the Riverbeds of Joyo Joyo City, Kyoto Prefecture. Grown in the special riverbed soils along the Kizu River, this matcha is made from the celebrated "Samidori" variety. These fields are blessed with "niko," a nutrient-dense mud unique to the riverbed. The sandy soil provides excellent drainage, allowing the tea plants to rapidly absorb these rich nutrients, resulting in a matcha with an exceptionally deep, vibrant green color and a powerfully concentrated umami. A Burst of Pure, Unadulterated Umami This matcha is defined by its striking, deep green color and a clean, straightforward umami that floods the palate the moment you taste it. Free from any bitterness or harsh astringency, it offers a tasting experience that is both impactful and remarkably smooth, leaving a clean and refreshing finish. --------------- Flavor Notes Richness : 4 Umami : 5 Roast Level : 3 Bitterness : 1 Astringency : 2 Product Information Origin: Joyo Cultivar: Samidori Harvesting Method: Handpicked Gross Weight: 27g, 61g Chasen (bamboo whisk) sold separately.
