Tasting notes

Grown without use of pesticides/synthetic fertilizers, Sahohime is a matcha blessed by its namesake, the goddess of spring. It is characterized by a creamy umami flavor rarely found in organically grown leaves. 佐保姫 Sahohime - the goddess of spring. In theory of the five elements, spring is represented by the east, and Mt. Saho was located east of Heijo-kyo, the ancient capital of the Nara period (710 - 794 AD). The goddess is said to wear a white dress as soft as the spring mist. We expect new stock by december.
