Overview
Best pick • solid matcha choice from Unknown origin
Smooth, nutty, and chocolatey, this Okumidori matcha from Wazuka, Kyoto gets its distinctive rich flavour from skillful growing and strong firing. Grown at an elevation of 310m without the use of pesticides, Kanoyama's smooth yet bold taste makes it stand out in lattes and perfect for a bowl of usucha. Though not as famous as its neighbouring town Uji, Wazuka is actually where a lot of Ujicha is grown and recently has become more well-known. This tea is very popular and often sold out, so if you'd like to try a blend with a similar taste profile, check out Eiryoku, Wazuka Saemidori, or Tenryu Okumidori
