The Hana blend is a beautiful combination of flowers and sweetness. With notes of Cherry Blossom, Shiso Leaf and Kombu. The floral notes come from the natural aroma of the young buds. This is a blend because it is made up of three cultivated varities - Uji-Hikari, Samidori and Gokou. Uji-Hikari is a particularly floral cultivar and helps give off the distinctive floral aroma which you will experience when you open this matcha for the first time.
The Hana Blend is a premium matcha picked from the virgin leaves of shade-grown tea trees during the first harvest of spring. It is stone-milled using traditional methods in Uji, Kyoto the birthplace of matcha.
