Description Tsuyuhikari is cherished for its vibrant green colour, refined freshness, and balanced taste – a cultivar that beautifully reflects the finesse of Yame’s tea fields. This year’s harvest reveals a softer hue and a touch more astringency compared to the previous season. These nuances are natural expressions of the climate and growing conditions, not a decrease in quality. Like all true single-cultivar matcha, Tsuyuhikari carries the living character of its harvest. Dairy-Free, Gluten-Free, GMO-Free, Sugar-Free, Vegan, and Vegetarian. Quality Note: As a natural single-cultivar matcha, each harvest may show slight differences in texture, taste, or colour. These variations reflect the climate of the season – proof of authenticity, never a compromise in quality. *Please note that the image is for reference purposes only. The actual colour may vary slightly due to differences in the seasonal batch. Tsuyuhikari vs Other Cultivars * Less Bitter: Compared to Kanayamidori and Okumidori, Tsuyuhikari offers a much milder bitterness, making it more approachable for new matcha drinkers. * More Floral Notes: Unlike the robust umami flavour of Saemidori, Tsuyuhikari has a gentle floral hint that adds a unique depth to its taste. * Balanced Sweetness: While Seimei provides a well-rounded flavour, Tsuyuhikari leans more towards a lighter, sweeter profile, ideal for those who enjoy a delicate tea experience. * Classic and Smooth: Compared to Okumidori, Tsuyuhikari has a slightly lighter and smoother taste, with a touch more sweetness, making it a perfect choice for those who appreciate a refined, elegant matcha. Note: This comparison is based on general perceptions and can vary depending on individual taste preferences.
