We are proud to introduce a rare matcha made from “native” Zairai plantations from seeds, and result of natural farming techniques.
Mandokoro is located in the eastern side of the Shiga prefecture, east of Kyoto and west of Mie. it is probably one of the most traditional and ancient tea places of Japan, with possibly more than 600 years of history, as per the records of that time: the Eigen-ji temple (永源寺), founded in 1361 during the Muromachi Period, located in Higashiomi is at the origin of tea cultivation in Mandokoro.
The leaves are harvested only one time per year in May and all teas of Mandokoro are produced in small batches. We believe that the original taste of centuries ago Matcha is preserved in this Mandokoro product.
Natural is the word that comes to mind when tasting this matcha. Soft, light, with a slightly perceptible bitterness and a pleasant aftertaste.
Sales of Mandokoro Matcha will start from October 18th. This is a very limited product, 80 cans were produced for this batch.
