Japan · Multi-Region Blend
SAE comes from a blend of Japanese matcha sourced across multiple tea-growing regions. Rather than representing a single place or cultivar, its character comes from the combination of different tea varieties, brought together to create a balanced and approachable matcha.
The blend brings together Saemidori and Okumidori, two cultivars selected for their distinct qualities. Saemidori is associated with a bright green character, while Okumidori is often valued for its smooth, mellow profile. Together, they contribute to SAE's fresh, rounded character.
The blend draws on first- and second-harvest tea, bringing together leaves from different points in the growing season.
Rather than focusing on a single cultivar or region, SAE brings these elements together in one blend, creating a matcha that feels fresh and clear, with a smooth body and a gentle touch of bitterness.
