Description Obubu Matcha: 2025 Samidori Cultivar from Wazuka, Kyoto A ceremonial grade matcha coming from the lovely Obubu tea farms in Wazuka, Kyoto prefecture. The samidori cultivar is a rare variety which has its origin in Uji and is mainly grown in Uji and the surrounding areas (such as Wazuka). Although it has a low yield, Samidori makes an excellent matcha, tencha, and gyokuro. Indeed, it is silky and smooth with a subtle sweetness, rich in umami flavour. To produce this matcha, the Samidori tea leaves where shaded for three to four weeks before harvest and then processed to tencha, then grounded for hours in stone mills.
