DESCRIPTION
Sourced from a tea factory founded in 1860s run by husband and wife team Takashi and Atsuko Nishide. 
 
For KAZE they source unrefined aracha tea leaves directly from farmers in Ujitawara, Kyoto Prefecure —renowned as the birthplace of Japanese matcha.
 
Kaze is crafted from a blend of the Samidori and Okumidori cultivars. Samidori is celebrated for its creamy texture, vibrant bright green color, and a flavor profile characterized by soft sweetness and an elegant, lingering finish. 
 
Okumidori complements with its smooth, well-rounded taste, vivid green hue, and subtle nutty and floral undertones.
 
We love this matcha for its light and refreshing character, offering a pillowy mouthfeel, rich aromatic depth, and a perfectly balanced umami. This refined blend excels as usucha, delivering a smoothness while retaining complexity and nuance when enjoyed as a latte.
