Tomo is a stone-ground matcha grown and produced in Ujitawara in Kyoto Prefecture. It is made from Samidori, a cultivar originating from Kyoto prefecture.
Single origin, all the tea from this blend is from one farmer whose tea has won multiple international awards at competitions. The plants are shaded for 25 days before harvest. The tencha is then ground slowly on granite millstones by the Nishide family, who have made tea in Ujitawara since the 1860s.
The cup is smooth and rounded, with notes of pistachio, marzipan and nougat.
To celebrate this special limited-run matcha, Tomo is the first and only matcha in our range that comes in a complimentary gift box. The box is designed and made in Korea, hand-stapled in Amsterdam.
