{"product_id":"koicha-hoshino-20g","title":"Koicha Hoshino","description":"\u003cp\u003eThis Koicha Matcha is produced in the renown Hoshino Village where premium gyokuro and matcha are grown in rich soil nurtured by the morning mist. This richness can even be detected in the aroma of the dry matcha, which reminded us of white chocolate. This matcha uses leaf material of three different cultivars, providing a complex flavor: Saemidori, Okumidori, and Yabukita. Saemidori contributes to the tea's emerald-green color, while Yabukita helps to provide boldness to the tea. It could be said that this boldness is counter-balanced by the mellow flavor of Okumidori.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eOrigin:\u003c\/strong\u003e Hoshino Village, Yame\u003cbr\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eHarvest\u003c\/strong\u003e: First Flush\u003cbr\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eCultivar:\u003c\/strong\u003e Yabukita, Okumidori, Saemidori \u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eTasting Profile:\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eWe felt there was a strong roast to this tea, unique from other matcha we have offered previously.
