#0992.S5: Shibakiri-en Naturally Grown Matcha - Standard Ceremonial Grade

This matcha is very vegetal, it has notes of lightly grilled zucchini. The umami notes are balanced well with bitterness and astringency, which fits well with the refreshing flavour of the matcha. About Shibakiri Tea Garden Tea farmer Sugiyama Tadashi grows various cultivars on a few small fields in the mountain village of Mohata, Shimizu City, Shizuoka. Though the Sugiyama family had been farming since 1920, Tadashi himself inherited the farm in 2018 when his father unfortunately passed away. The tea community around him is helping to teach him to create amazing, high-grade teas at very small quantities of a few kilograms to a few dozen kilograms in some cases.
