The Ethereal Trio
Three of the purest matcha available in Japan's domestic market
Blend Satoshi: This matcha is flawless. It's everything you want in a top-grade matcha: creamy, silky, graceful, not even a hint of bitterness. Wildly vibrant color looks photoshopped! Dominant aromas are raw sugar, rain-soaked young grass, and sweet peas. Umami on the back palate, almost meaty, grilled chanterelles. Such a long, sweet finish. You'll want to lick every last drop. Origin: Nishio, Aichi Prefecture (near Nagoya), Japan. Very pristine environment. The very best that Nishio produces.
Blend Hikari: Matcha of this extreme quality is exceedingly hard to produce and to procure, yet here it is, thanks to an obsessed grower who offered it to us.This matcha is pure pleasure -- it's like drinking light infused with chlorophyll. It bestows a brothy umami torrent that continues long after swallowing (up to several full minutes of finish), and its ultra-fine texture and overall quality mean that it whisks up into gorgeously thick clouds of emerald froth that remain in the tumbler long after the liquid is gone. Dominant aromas are freshly picked young peas, shiitake, and sweet cream. Silky as it gets. Its high levels of L-theanine and other amino acids snap the brain to attention, making it the perfect beverage for prolonged bouts of study, writing, or any other intellectual pursuit. Origin: From a truly talented matcha farmer near Byodoin Temple, Uji, Kyoto, Japan.
Blend Jizo: Dreamlike and rare, grown with the classic "honzu" method (shading the tea fields with reeds). Pronounced umami and a long, long finish. Quite chocolatey on first sip, followed by tastes of spring baby vegetables and fresh herbs. Each leaf is coddled and tended to, from first bud to ground matcha. As with all of our matcha, there is just one harvest a year, in early May, and all leaves are picked by hand. 100% stone ground. Naturally fertilized with ground sardine and herring. A true gem of a matcha, very difficult to find matcha of this quality. Origin: Gokasho (Uji, Kyoto).
Each blend size is 30g / 30 Servings and includes jar for each.
