01 Samidori is the first drop of the exclusive Single Origin series: a matcha crafted by the Nakai family on their plantation located in Wazuka, Kyoto (Japan), with 350 years of history in tea cultivation.
Made from the Samidori cultivar, its leaves are slowly stone-milled in traditional stone mills until an ultra-fine powder is obtained. The result is a creamy matcha, with a pronounced sweetness and slightly toasted notes.
The set includes:
- Matcha Tea - 01 Samidori 30g
- Tiger Chashaku (Bamboo Scoop)
- Tiger Chasen (Bamboo Whisk)

How to prepare a perfect matcha latte
1. Sift about 2g of matcha into a chawan (2g is roughly two well-filled bamboo teaspoons).
2. Add a small amount of hot water (maximum 80°C, not boiling) and stir with the bamboo whisk to create a dense, smooth, green paste.
3. Add the rest of the hot water, about 30ml, and whisk energetically in a zigzag motion for about 20 seconds.
4. Slow down the whisking speed, and do it gently over the surface to remove large bubbles and create a smooth, creamy green layer.
5. Finally, add your favorite milk to the dissolved matcha and enjoy ;)
