Samidori matcha delivers a deep, rounded body with a creamy umami richness. Grown and produced from an eco farm in Shizuoka, Japan, this ceremonial grade matcha is an exceptional treat for a matcha lover. Looking for something even more exceptional? Check out our Samidori from Uji, Kyoto -- the best in our matcha collection. 

The history of Samidori goes back to 1939 when the tea farmer Koyama Masajiro developed this cultivar, which later rose in popularity during the 1950s. Samidori has a long harvest period with its leaves that grow straight up for easy picking. Samidori does well as a shaded tea, which can go on to become gyokuro, tencha, and of course, a particularly striking matcha.

Step out of the ordinary and enjoy our Samidori as one of the best matcha!

How to Enjoy Whisk Matcha

Make the perfect cup of matcha for your daily routine in three simple steps:

  • Measure

    Measure 1/2 tsp of matcha into a bowl. The powder can be sifted to reduce clumps. Alternatively, 3/4 tsp can be used for a more robust flavor.

  • Whisk

    Add about 2-3 oz of 160-170F water to the matcha. This temperature is hot to the touch, but much lower than boiling. Whisk until a thick foam develops.

  • Enjoy

    Add 5-6 oz of hot water to the mixture. For a cold version, pour whisked matcha over ice. Add more water, milk, or sweetener if the drink is too bitter.

Inhale the fragrance and savor each sip!
