50g / tin Seiei Matcha – Shizuoka, Japan Cultivated from the renowned Yabukita cultivar in the misty hills of Shizuoka’s Kakegawa region, Seiei (青影, “Green Shadow”) Matcha is a ceremonial-grade tea that embodies clarity, richness, and depth. Shade-grown and stone-milled to a silky powder, it reveals a vibrant green hue, creamy texture, and refined character. Its flavor opens with fresh grassy sweetness and subtle oceanic notes, evolving into a velvety, full-bodied mouthfeel. What makes Seiei distinctive is its pronounced creaminess, the intense returning sweetness (hui gan), and the lingering fragrance that rises back through the palate, leaving a long, elegant finish. Flavor profile: Aroma: Fresh grass, sea breeze, light floral hints Palate: Creamy, smooth, rich in umami Finish: Strong returning sweetness with uplifting fragrance Matcha Seiei is excellent for usucha (thin tea), yet it shines even more beautifully in a matcha latte — where the Yabukita cultivar’s depth and creaminess create a perfectly balanced and indulgent experience.
