Skillfully blended from hand-picked tencha grown in Uji and surrounding areas, this matcha is impressively luscious and powerful, both as usucha and koicha. The majority of the tencha used in this tea comes from Toshio Terakawa-san, who has been praised by the Emperor for his teas. Other tencha in this blend comes from Kiyoharu Tsuji-san, and Fukui-san. The name Uta-no-Mori means "Forest of Poems" (詩の杜) Producer: Rishouen Region: Wazuka / Uji, Kyoto Cultivar: Blend: Samidori, others Harvested: May, 2025 Picking: Hand-picked
