A detailed description of the Nakanishi family and information about the production of this exquisite Matcha can be found at http://nakanishi.eu/

The Hanomi Uji Matcha is an exceptionally high quality, which was produced only in very limited numbers.

The harvest started around the end of April. Due to the high demands and the time required for further processing, it takes several weeks to complete the harvest and processing.

Hanomi Uji Matcha is considered one of the finest Matcha varieties in Japan, cultivated and processed in a 100% traditional way. It comes from Uji, the only historically recognized place in Japan for "true tea" and is produced without any use of agricultural chemicals. The leaves are entirely hand-picked.

In contrast to its "big brother", the Takeno Jôô Uji Matcha, the complete processing of the Hanomi Uji Matcha, from harvesting to packaging, is almost completely done by hand! Only the sifting and separation of the leaf flesh from the veins and branches is carried out with mechanically driven sifters. All other processing steps before and after are done by hand!

The tea garden of the Nakanishi family is only about 1.25 ha in size and is located in the prefecture of Uji. The Nakanishi family has been growing organic tea there since 1980. "100% traditional cultivation and processing at the highest level" means that the tea garden of the Nakanishi family is completely covered with black nets, under which the tea bushes grow high. Once a year about 30 helpers come into the garden to harvest the tea - exclusively by hand!

The leaves are carefully processed into Tencha and then carefully ground in a stone mill. Hanomi Uji Matcha is an excellent variety of the Nakanishi family garden, for which only the sweetest shrub variety of the family with the fullest umami is harvested.
 
Taste
Intense and bright green in the skin, the taste of this Matcha is at first excitingly fruity, it lacks almost any astringency. In the aftertaste the Matcha develops a soft and creamy, almost sweet aftertaste on the palate. Compared to the Takeno Jôô Uji Matcha, the Hanomi Uji Matcha has a small hint of less umami and a little less sweetness, but a light, almost imperceptible astringency.
 
Availability
The total production of this extremely exquisite and first-class Matcha this year (2019) is only a few kilograms for the entire world market! The Matcha is certified organic according to the EU Organic Regulation.
