Kettl Editions: House Milled Yamamoto Samidori Matcha
$60.00
Our Kettl Editions program chronicles exclusive tencha selections that are imported directly from Japan and milled fresh on our traditional stone mill in Brooklyn. These offerings are unavailable anywhere else in the world and offer an unparalleled experience with freshness and flavor.
This is a 100% Samidori matcha from Jintaro Yamamoto, a 6th generation tea farmer in Uji City. Yamamoto-san is one of Uji's youngest stars, and a steward of his craft. He operates the oldest tencha drying furnace in Japan, a protected cultural landmark.
Yamamoto-san's tea is grown near the banks of the Uji River, which lends a persistent fog that protects the plants from seasonal frost that would otherwise damage the young tea shoots. Under these growing conditions, the tea plants are able to flourish, ultimately yielding a buttery and dynamic matcha.
