Shizuhime no Shiro

A single-origin matcha from Okabe-chō in the city of Fujieda, in the heart of Japan's celebrated tea prefecture of Shizuoka. Treat yourself to a cup of Shizuhime no Shiro, a tea that refreshes in a single sip and gently connects you with the centuries-old tradition of Japanese tea craft. Every cup is a small tribute to the calm, focus and beauty of simplicity at the heart of Japanese tea culture. A moment you deserve to savour without haste. It comes from tea gardens set among misty mountain slopes, where cool mists and slow growth give the leaves an exceptional depth. It is distinguished by a rich, refined aroma and a delicate, silky-smooth taste. It shines both in a lighter cup of "pure" matcha and in a premium matcha latte. The leaves mature in the shade, beneath a cover that limits sunlight and helps preserve the fullness of flavour and colour. After harvest they are dried gently, without friction, and only the softest, highest-quality parts of the leaf are carefully selected for the final matcha. The result is a tea of rare purity and character. A small moment of luxury in every sip.
