Nishi-san's Matcha Saemidori

Fresh, lively and bright, this batch of organic Saemidori matcha is exquisitely balanced, showcasing a rich, harmonious aroma that uplifts the senses.

This single-cultivar micro-lot of Saemidori is vivid green with a particularly fresh and bright presence. Saemidori is typically the first cultivar to be harvested in the spring, and its name, Saemidori, refers to the vivid and brilliant green color of its leaves—especially the fresh, bright hue of the new shoots during the first flush.

This limited single-cultivar matcha is produced to showcase the first flush vibrancy. The vibrant freshness is balanced with rich umami and a smooth, creamy mouthfeel.

A unique fruity melon aroma adds a sweet finish and highlights the distinctive character of this offering.

Renowned throughout Japan as pioneers of organic green tea cultivation, the Nishi family has been our strongest partner for organic sencha and organic matcha since 2006. Every year, the Nishi family produces exclusive allocations of organic sencha and organic matcha for us. This Nishi family grows more than a dozen different green tea cultivars all with unique characteristics and nuances that make our blends really stand out. Our long standing relationship with the Nishi family allows us to select the very best micro-lots and fine tune our sencha and matcha blends each year. The Nishi Organic Tea Farm consists of many different gardens secluded in pine and cedar forests of Kirishima Mountain, an active volcano on Kyushu, Island. The densely forested area where these amazing tea farms are located provides a natural buffer zone that protects the tea gardens from industrial pollution.
