Matcha "Velvet 7" is a new, exclusive line of single origin, single cultivar shincha (new harvest) matcha from Yame, Fukuoka. This series is a rare opportunity to taste matcha from the famous Yame region in its most pristine state: freshly harvested, direct from the grower, and unblended.

We launch this series with perhaps the gentlest and the most outstanding of the 7 cultivars: Saemidori has such a soft, refined and refreshing quality, it shifts our understanding of what matcha from Yame can be like. It has an incredibly creamy mouthfeel, with notes of soybean, tea leaf, and bamboo.

Smell: sweet, soybean, sprouted greens, lily
Colour: asparagus green
Taste: creamy, tea leaf, fresh bean, bamboo, clean finish

We Recommend

Whisk the matcha with hot water, then add cold milk (we prefer neutral oat milk with no added sugar or oils). This is the best temperature to taste matcha. No ice needed, as it dilutes the flavour. Enjoy!
