RESERVE Maccha Okumidori Shimoyama by Fujioka 20g
Fujioka chose to give his Okuda lot second harvest a rest in 2019 and sent us this beautiful alternative from his Shimoyama lot instead. We decided to run with it again this year due to its incredible notes of sage, kinako and cashew cream.
$33.00 – $38.00
