SO MATCHA MINANAMI（南波）Ceremonial · Blend

MINANAMI, meaning “southern wave,” reflects the warmth, depth, and quiet rhythm found in the tea-growing landscapes of southern Japan.

Developed exclusively for SO MATCHA in collaboration with an internationally recognized tea master and tea-making team, this ceremonial blend combines Saemidori and Yabukita cultivars cultivated in Yame, Fukuoka. The result is a deeper and more layered interpretation of Yame matcha, shaped by craftsmanship, balance, and character.

Carefully shaded before harvest and stone-milled into a fine powder, the tea develops a rich body, concentrated umami, and a smooth, rounded texture.

Notes of roasted almond, smoked hazelnut, cocoa nib, and toasted soybean gradually reveal themselves across the palate. Gentle smoky nuances weave through the cup, contributing depth and complexity while allowing the blend’s natural sweetness and creamy texture to remain at the forefront.

Structured and quietly expressive, MINANAMI unfolds with richness and warmth before settling into a lingering finish marked by soft smokiness and enduring umami.
