Comparing the Matcha Cultivars

Our Organic Kyushu Volcano Soil Matcha is a single estate Saemidori, which is one of the best cultivar ingridients for ceremonial matcha.

Left~​Saemidori: Because it buds very early in the spring, it is highly prized for high-end Shincha (first-flush tea). Its high umami also makes it a favorite for shaded teas like premium Gyokuro and Matcha.

Right~​Yabukita (The Reliable Standard): This is a mid-season cultivar (chusei) and is the baseline against which all other Japanese teas are measured for harvest timing. It is incredibly hardy, resistant to frost, and adapts well to different soils, which is why it makes up over 70% of all tea grown in Japan.
