Sae - Saemidori Matcha

First Harvest Saemidori Matcha from Kagoshima, Japan

A rich and exceptionally smooth single-cultivar matcha crafted from the season’s first harvest in Kagoshima, Japan.

Saemidori is prized for its deep umami, natural richness, and low bitterness, creating a smooth and rounded cup with a beautifully mellow character. Its gentle profile allows its savory sweetness to linger without overwhelming astringency.

Its single-cultivar expression highlights the refined character of Saemidori — an excellent choice for those who prefer a richer, smoother and more umami-forward matcha.
