Satsuma Organic Saemidori Matcha
$40.00
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.
Crafted from the renowned Saemidori cultivar—celebrated in Kagoshima for its vivid flavor and color—this Matcha offers a brilliant, clear green hue, a testament to expert cultivation and processing.
