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

SAEMIDORI reflects the quiet elegance and natural sweetness that define this celebrated cultivar.

Cultivated in Yame, Fukuoka, and sourced from a single tea field, this first-harvest matcha offers a clear and expressive interpretation of Saemidori’s distinctive character. Crafted under the guidance of a tea-making team whose work has received recognition at international tea competitions, it reflects a thoughtful approach to balance, sweetness, and refinement.

Careful shading before harvest encourages richness and sweetness while preserving the cultivar’s remarkable clarity and composure.

Patiently stone-milled into a fine powder, the tea reveals a silky texture and a harmonious profile.

Notes of kinako, hazelnut, fresh cream, and sweet soybean emerge over gentle umami and natural sweetness. Beneath its softness lies a delicate roasted nuance, lending warmth and quiet depth without disturbing the cultivar’s purity and refinement.

Graceful and understated, it concludes with a smooth, lingering finish that reflects the elegance for which Saemidori is celebrated.
