Saemidori - Ceremonial Grade Matcha

Saemidori — 'clear green' — is prized across Japan for colour so vivid it barely looks real. This single-cultivar Kagoshima ceremonial matcha pours a jade-bright bowl: naturally sweet, low in bitterness and impossibly smooth. Whisk it traditionally to do it justice — this is a tea to be tasted, not masked. Naturally rich in caffeine. Rare, radiant, unforgettable.

Made exclusively from the Saemidori cultivar, a varietal grown in the mineral-rich volcanic soils of Kagoshima in southern Japan and known for its remarkably low bitterness. Shade-grown to intensify its chlorophyll and amino acid content, then stone-milled into a velvety emerald powder. Smooth and vibrant with a silky texture, gentle umami and a clean, floral finish.

Certified organic by JAS (Japanese Agricultural Standards) and grown without pesticides or conventional fertilisers, so the cup is pure from leaf to bowl. Packed in Miron violet glass, which filters out the visible light that degrades matcha while letting through the UV and infrared frequencies that help preserve it.
