Matcha Unsui | Natural farming | 2024

抹茶 雲水

Matcha Unsui is harvested from a single garden of old zairai tea trees in Kamo, Kyoto, cultivated by Tokuya Yamazaki using purely natural farming methods – no pesticides, no fertilisers, and almost no weeding (except for once in autumn).
The gently stone-milled matcha powder is easily whisked into a smooth, frothy tea, where green sensations of pillowy moss are followed by wild, herbaceous notes and a lingering marine finish.
The result is a unique and very natural matcha – not nearly as vividly green as many modern cultivar teas, but marked by a deep sense of personality, intimately shaped by the old roots of the zairai trees and the distinct Kamo terroir.
