RARE & FINEST VOL.2 / Matcha Exploration Program

Description

RARE & FINEST is an exploration into the untouched side of Matcha.

Grown in Gokasho, Kyoto, Japan, Samidori H1/ Matcha Powder joins The Black Label, our collection of exceptional Matcha selected for its distinctive character and the care behind its cultivation. Discovered during our search for the second volume of Rare and Finest, this selection is made from the Samidori cultivar and grown using Honzu, a rare traditional shading method that continues to be practised by only a small number of tea farms today, including the one where our Samidori is grown.

Practised for centuries, Honzu uses natural reed screens and straw instead of synthetic coverings to shield the tea leaves from sunlight during a crucial stage of growth. These materials are carefully placed over the tea fields, allowing the leaves to develop their character slowly over time. This traditional approach to cultivation allows Samidori H1 to develop its distinctive taste profile, with bold, salty umami balanced by gentle edamame sweetness and a clean aftertaste.

The “H1” in Samidori H1 symbolises the Honzu method behind its cultivation, while marking its place as the first Samidori edition in our Rare and Finest series. Together, the distinctive cultivar and this time-honoured growing tradition make Samidori H1 a unique addition to our exploration of exceptional Matcha.
