Saemidori (冴翠) is a single-cultivar kabusecha sencha from Kagoshima, made entirely from the prized Saemidori cultivar — beloved for its natural sweetness and low astringency.

Expect a refined, elegant aroma and a brilliantly clear green liquor. The taste is clean and umami-rich with a delicate sweetness, closing on a crisp finish. A sophisticated single-cultivar tea for discerning menus and retail shelves.
