About This Tea
What does Shuichiro Sakamoto Organic Seimei Matcha taste like?
This premium organic matcha from Kagoshima delivers a remarkably silky and sweet character, bursting with umami. Delicate notes of pistachio, brown butter, and milk chocolate unfold on the palate, off. It leans umami, sweet and nutty.
How should I brew Shuichiro Sakamoto Organic Seimei Matcha?
Water around 70–80 °C (158–176 °F). In a mug, steep 2–3 min. For gongfu, use 3–5 g per 100 ml, 15–30 s steeps. You'll get to see how the flavor changes across multiple rounds. The biggest mistake with green tea is using boiling water. Keep it well below that and you won't get bitterness.
Where does Shuichiro Sakamoto Organic Seimei Matcha come from?
Grown in Kagoshima, Japan from the Seimei cultivar. This batch is from the 2025 harvest.
How much does Shuichiro Sakamoto Organic Seimei Matcha cost?
