Location of production and farmer

Information about the farm

Matcha Kiwami Sakamoto is grown in Kagoshima’s Shibushi region, an area blessed with fertile volcanic soil and a warm, subtropical climate. Mr. Sakamoto’s organic methods and dedication to sustainability ensure that every leaf is nurtured with care, producing matcha of exceptional clarity and intensity.

Sourced in Kagoshima

Japan

Matcha Kiwami Sakamoto comes from Shibushi in Kagoshima, Japan. The region’s subtropical weather, abundant rainfall, and mineral-rich volcanic soil create the perfect environment for shading tea plants and producing vibrant, flavorful matcha.

Cultivar and tea plant variety

Matcha Kiwami Sakamoto is crafted from Seimei, a modern cultivar valued for its vivid color, crisp umami, and exceptionally clean profile. Seimei’s steady growth and leaf tenderness make it ideal for prolonged shading, concentrating amino acids for a creamy body and focused sweetness. In the bowl, it whisks into a dense, silky froth and delivers bright, precise flavors with minimal astringency and a refreshing aftertaste.

  • Seimei

    Seimei is a modern cultivar gaining recognition for its refined and clean taste profile. It is resilient during cultivation yet delivers an elegant sweetness and a deep umami flavor. For matcha, Seimei provides both brilliance in color and sharpness in flavor, making it ideal for a premium tea like Kiwami.
