What is Seimei Matcha?

Seimei matcha is one of Japan’s newest cultivars—fresh, sweet and beautifully bright. Its name means clear and bright, and that’s exactly what it delivers: a cup that feels pure, modern, and uplifting from the first sip.

History of Seimei

Registered in 2017, Seimei was created as a resilient cultivar—one that could thrive even with shifting climates while producing consistently vibrant matcha. Though still rare, it’s quickly becoming known for its clean taste and striking green powder, reflecting a new chapter in Japanese tea innovation.

Harvest Notes

Seimei is typically harvested in spring and carefully shaded to develop its brilliant green hue. Farmers prize it for its stable yields, while tea drinkers love the refreshing, and mildly sweet flavour that feels lighter and crisper than more traditional cultivars.
