Taste the unique terroir of Japan's legendary Uji tea gardens with this curated pairing of two of our finest single-origin matcha teas.
What's Included:
- 30g tin of Organic Hinode Matcha Green Tea
- 30g tin of Organic Yorokobi Matcha Green Tea
Both Hinode and Yorokobi are made in the storied Uji region of Japan, where centuries of tea-growing tradition, rich soil, and ideal microclimate conditions yield matcha of extraordinary depth and refinement. Tasting them side by side reveals the nuanced ways that terroir expresses itself even within the same celebrated growing region.
Hinode: clean, bright, and playful, this tea sings in an interplay of bright notes and smooth, rich cocoa.
Yorokobi: a light, sweet floral silkiness evokes thoughts of Spring. Clean and full-bodied, the vegetal depth of the tea categorizes it as pure umami.
