About this tea
Matcha Saemidori is made purely from a single tea cultivar, Saemidori (冴緑), which means “bright green.” Saemidori is noted for having low bitterness and a lush, savory umami taste with an invigoratingly fresh mouthfeel. Brimming with amino acids, Saemidori is one of the most prized cultivars for matcha and is among the first tea cultivars to be harvested each spring. This Organic, Ceremonial quality expression of Matcha Saemidori is produced in the beautiful Kirishima Mountain volcanic region of southern Japan.
