Mr. Kita is slowness, craft and ritual incarnate. He sources handpicked tencha from a veritable "who's who" of Wazuka—the microclimate whose misty slopes birthed Uji tea. Each lot is meticulously stone milled. This matcha comes from a single harvest, single producer and single cultivar. The freshness, character, and umami of Kita's productions are unparalleled. Born in Kagoshima, 'Saemidori' is nevertheless perfectly suited for Wazuka's gently rolling slopes. Flowers may not be the first association that comes to mind when you think of matcha but the producer Mr. Nobuyuki manages to coax a fresh, floral and misty fragrance to accompany throat-watering umami.
