- Description
- Detail
- Instructions
- Storage
Nutty & lightly roasted with soft floral notes — Saemidori is a matcha that carries a zensational wave of calm energy. Grown in Yame, Japan, this cultivar (meaning “clear green” in Japanese) is naturally low in bitterness, with gentle umami, mellow sweetness, and a light freshness — like spring leaves after rain.
Our Saemidori comes from Yame, a region celebrated for its distinctive terroir that gives each cup a smooth, well-rounded depth. Grown in the misty mountains and shaded for over 21 days to boost its L-Theanine.
Perfect for slow mornings or daily little pauses. Enjoy it pure, or whisk into a latte that lets its creamy, sweet side shine (Try it with oat milk and a drizzle of maple — simple and so good.).
Our matcha powder contains no nut allergens — just naturally nutty flavour notes!

Health Benefits
Matcha is a powerhouse of antioxidants, including flavonoids, polyphenols, and vitamin C, that help protect your cells and reduce oxidative stress. With its high concentration of L-theanine, matcha promotes calm focus and clarity, while the natural caffeine content—about 35mg per gram—provides a smooth, sustained energy boost without the crash.
This unique combination of calming amino acids and caffeine improves cognitive function, enhances focus, and boosts metabolism.

Frequently Asked Questions
What is matcha?
Matcha tea is made from shade-grown green tea leaves that are finely milled into a powder. Unlike regular green tea, you consume the whole leaf—so it’s more concentrated, with a richer taste and deeper effect.
What is ceremonial-grade matcha?
Ceremonial grade matcha refers to the highest quality matcha tea—traditionally used in Japanese tea ceremonies. It’s made from the youngest, most tender leaves, finely milled for a smooth texture and naturally sweet flavour. For us, it means we only source premium quality matcha—carefully selected for its taste, distinctive green colour, and refined texture.
How much caffeine is in matcha?
Matcha has about 19–44 mg of caffeine per gram — similar to coffee.
Thanks to L-theanine, the energy is smoother and lasts longer. Think calm focus, not a jittery spike. That’s the matcha wave.
Where do our matcha come from?
Right now, all our matcha tea powder comes from Yame—a region in southern Japan known for its deep-rooted tea traditions and exceptional quality with distinctive flavour profile. But we’re just getting started. We're expanding our range, exploring other regions across Japan to bring you more rare cultivars, refined blends, and fresh matcha experiences. The wave keeps moving.
How to store matcha powder?
Store your matcha tea powder in an airtight container away from light, heat, odour and moisture. Use within 6 months of opening for the best flavour and colour. Always reseal tightly to protect its freshness.
Blend vs single cultivar matcha — what’s the difference?
Single cultivar matcha is made using just one tea plant variety. It captures the distinct flavour of that specific cultivar—whether it’s creamy, nutty, or floral.
Ceremonial blend matcha combine multiple cultivars to create a smooth, balanced flavour profile. Crafted by tea masters, they’re consistent, versatile, and perfect for everyday sipping or lattes.
