Organic Ceremonial Single Cultivar Yame Matcha 30g

Matchasome’s single-estate, single cultivar organic ceremonial-grade matcha is crafted from a small family-run tea farm in Yame, Fukuoka, in southern Japan. Saemidori cultivar is renowned for its mild astringency, natural sweetness, and umami flavor, making it a preferred choice to produce premium teas such as gyokuro and matcha. The name Saemidori translates to “vivid green,” a nod to its vibrant, bright green hue as opposed to the deeper, darker green of the renowned Okumidori cultivar.  

Our Yame matcha is cultivated on a mountain at approximately 400 meters elevation, where the plants benefit from abundant sunlight throughout the day and well-drained soil. Over 45 years ago, the current farm owner’s father began cultivating tea without pesticides after falling ill, laying the foundation for the farm’s commitment to organic practices.
