SO MATCHA SAEMIDORI (さえみどり) Ceremonial Organic · Single Cultivar

Originating from Yame, Fukuoka, this organic Saemidori expresses the cultivar’s naturally sweet character through a profile of gentle umami, creamy texture, and understated complexity.

The aroma opens with delicate notes of sweet malt and toasted grains, complemented by a subtle mineral nuance that lends depth and quiet sophistication. On the palate, a silky texture and medium body create a smooth, rounded experience, while restrained bitterness and gentle astringency allow its natural sweetness to remain at the forefront.

As the flavours unfold, the interplay of creamy malt, toasted cereal, and delicate minerality reveals a matcha that is both composed and expressive. The finish is clean and lingering, leaving a soft warmth that invites another sip.

Thoughtfully suited to both traditional Usucha and Matcha Latte, Saemidori offers two distinct expressions of the same character. Prepared as Usucha, its delicate umami and natural sweetness take centre stage. With milk, its creamy texture and toasted-grain notes become more pronounced, creating a harmonious, well-rounded latte.

Smooth in texture, balanced in character, and naturally sweet, Saemidori embodies the understated elegance of everyday premium matcha.
