We exclusively use the premium variety "Samidori," which is carefully nurtured without the use of pesticides or chemical fertilizers.

In addition to the smooth and elegant umami characteristic of this high-quality variety, you will also experience the distinct astringency derived from the natural environment of Kamo, Kizugawa City.

Samidori

Samidori is a type of tea cultivar from Uji, Kyoto. It tends to be used for high grade Matcha and Gyokuro. It has a rich aroma and Umami flavour, and these become stronger by being covered by sheet on top of tea trees. Therefore, Samidori grade is suitable for shaded teas like Matcha, Gyokuro and Kabusecha.
