Wholesale Premium Ceremonial Matcha (Samidori Cultivar)

Description This ceremonial matcha is harvested entirely by hand and is typically reserved for select tea masters’ shops in Japan. Cultivated in secluded mountain areas, the tea plants experience extreme temperature fluctuations, shaping its distinctive flavour development. The result is a matcha with intense umami at its core, supported by natural sweetness and a full, rounded mouthfeel. Despite its depth, astringency remains low, allowing the flavour to unfold cleanly and linger without sharpness. * Cultivar: Samidori (single cultivar) * Style: Umami-forward, rich, and expressive * Finish: Clean, lingering, low astringency Dairy-Free, Gluten-Free, GMO-Free, Sugar-Free, Vegan, and Vegetarian.

Why Samidori Cultivar? Samidori is valued for its ability to develop strong umami with clarity and control, particularly when grown under demanding mountain conditions. The combination of hand harvesting, secluded growing areas, and significant day–night temperature shifts encourages slower leaf development and greater flavour concentration. Extreme day-night temperature shifts slow leaf growth and concentrate flavour, resulting in: * Concentrated savoury depth * Natural sweetness without heaviness * Fuller body with minimal bitterness * A clean, lingering finish These qualities make Samidori particularly suited to high-level ceremonial matcha where umami is the focal point. Ingredients Ceremonial-grade green tea fine powder Character * Thickness: Full and rounded * Sweetness: High * Umami: Very high and pronounced * Vegetal notes: Subtle * Astringency: Low and gentle This profile creates a cup that feels powerful yet controlled, with savoury depth taking the lead.
