The Nishide family has cultivated and milled matcha in Uji for three generations, maintaining complete oversight from garden to milling. Mine no Shiro is shaded for four weeks in t he Okunoyama microregion, where fertile soils and river mist produce tencha leaves with high amino acid content and vivid green color. The Nishides finish the tea entirely in-house on traditional granite mills, ensuring freshness and precision. Mine no Shiro straddles the line between everyday and craft; it's eminently drinkable: lighter and delicate, emphasizing clarity and umami over depth and density. The result is a clean, balanced matcha. Show more
