Fine granite-milled matcha from Uji, Kyoto, crafted from only the finest shade-grown, competition-grade tencha leaves from the highest ranking farms. Prepared on rare occasions, when only the highest expression will suffice.
KILL GREEN Type 01 is a reserved Samidori and Okumidori blend, selected for intensity, depth, and an exceptionally clean finish. The cup opens with vivid green umami, soft natural sweetness, and a deep, polished body, followed by a long, elegant aftertaste. Many consider this to be a standard competition grade matcha flavor profile with a well-rounded expression.
Recommended preparation:
Whisk with 170°F water. Best served as usucha, koicha-style concentration, or a high-intensity cup.
Tasting notes:
Deep umami, soft sweetness, fresh green aroma, polished body, long finish.
