Our SAE matcha, is the matcha chosen by tea master Randy Channell Soei as his daily house tea.
In Kyoto, tea master Randy Channell Soei chose this exact profile as the matcha he serves every day in his own tearoom, not because it is simple, but because it is balanced, and consistently high-quality.
SAE is made from the Saemidori cultivar, known in Japan for its naturally clean, sweet-leaning taste. SAE showcases the stability and clarity that make Saemidori one of Japan’s most respected cultivars. Finding a single-cultivar, single-origin Saemidori of this quality is uncommon, not only in the Netherlands, but even in Japan, because most Saemidori is blended into commercial lots rather than released in its pure form.
Where Nikon reflects the formal, deep umami of Kyoto, SAE reflects the clarity and steadiness that a tea master trusts for daily teaching and hospitality.
