Saemidori - Single Cultivar Sencha

Character

This tea is perfect for both Mizudashi (cold brew) and Koridashi (ice brew), bringing out a smooth, refreshing sweetness and a gentle aroma — just right for slow summer days.

This fragrant deep-steamed sencha is made from Saemidori, first flush tea leaves picked in the spring of 2025. The leaves are cultivated in the volcanic, mineral-rich soils and misty mountains of Kirishima, in southern Japan. The pristine environment shapes the tea’s unmistakably refined character. This farm recieved the Minister of Agriculture, Forestry and Fisheries Award 2024. 

The fukamushi (deep-steamed) process enhances its umami, resulting in a rich and mellow cup with a beautifully balanced finish.
