While this cultivar is generally suited for shaded teas like kabusecha and gyokuro, Uejima-san’s is a non-shaded samidori making it somewhat of an uncommon and rare find. This well balanced, freshly fragrant sencha from Uejima-san will please you with its elegant umami, enjoy! \u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cspan style=\"font-weight: 400;\"\u003eTo note, the samidori comes from a tea plant in Uji and was bred by Koyama Masajirou in 1939. Nowadays, it is more common to come across a matcha from this cultivar in Kyoto prefecture. \u003c\/span\u003e \u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eSampler of 10 green teas from Uejima Tea Farm\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cdiv class=\"twocol\"\u003e\n\u003ch2\u003eProduct Info\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eIngredients\u003c\/strong\u003e: Green tea\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eCultivar\u003c\/strong\u003e: Samidori\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eHarvest\u003c\/strong\u003e: Spring\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eRegion\u003c\/strong\u003e: Wazuka Village, Kyoto Prefecture\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\u003cbr\u003e\n\u003ch2\u003eAbout Tea Farmer: Noriyasu Uejima\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eNoriyasu Uejima is a hard working and humble tea master.
