Satsuma Organic Tsuyuhikari Matcha
$38.00
We’re excited to share the work of an emerging Matcha producer based in the famed Satsuma region of Kagoshima. The Yamaguchi family, a father-and-son team, has spent over 40 years crafting single cultivar Sencha. Motivated by a deep personal passion for Matcha, they recently transitioned a quarter of their fields to Tencha cultivation.
After two years of close consultation with Uji-based tea makers, they built a state-of-the-art Tencha processing facility—complete with traditional stone mills—dedicated to producing high-grade Kagoshima Matcha. Their focus on unblended, single cultivar teas has already earned praise from Kyoto’s most respected producers for exceptional color, flavor, and aroma.
A non traditional Tencha cultivar, Tsuyuhikari is prized in Kagoshima for its freshness and slightly spicy aroma. This Matcha represents a unique snapshot of an emerging region of production not found in traditional locales.
