Single-Origin Samidori

Another ultra-premium, hand-picked Samidori from Shirakawa, Uji — the cultivar most people mean when they picture Kyoto matcha.

Where our Ujihikari is built on sweetness, Samidori is built on body. It has a strong, full character with an elegant, refined bitterness running underneath — the classic choice rather than the easy one.

It is the bowl to serve alongside wagashi: traditional Japanese sweets meet that refined edge and both are the better for it. Long favoured by tea masters, and the reason Samidori is what Uji is known for.
