This richness can even be detected in the aroma of the dry matcha, which reminded us of white chocolate. This matcha owes its complex flavor to three different cultivars: Saemidori, Okumidori, and Yabukita. Saemidori contributes to the tea's emerald-green color, while Yabukita helps to provide boldness to the tea. It could be said that this boldness is counter-balanced by the mellow flavor of Okumidori.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eOrigin:\u003c\/strong\u003e Hoshino Village, Yame\u003cbr\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eHarvest\u003c\/strong\u003e: First Flush\u003cbr\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eCultivar:\u003c\/strong\u003e Yabukita, Okumidori, Saemidori\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eTasting Profile\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eWe felt there was a strong roast to this tea, unique from other matcha we have offered previously.
