Matcha Kiwami — Sakamoto • Shibushi, Kagoshima (ceremonial)

Kiwami Sakamoto's ceremonial grade matcha. The shading and processing skills based on gyokuro give this a balanced, round profile: pure umami, soft sweetness, minimal tartness - a stable, reliable "ceremonial" experience.

Origin & data

Producer: Sakamoto Tea Garden (Shibushi, Kagoshima)
Category: ceremonial matcha
Cultivar: depends on the batch (not always indicated by the manufacturer; modern, umami-focused lines are common)
Grinding: stone mill (tencha → matcha)

Flavor profile

Scent: fresh green, slightly sweet
Taste: round, pure umami; subtle sweet base, very low bitterness
Finish: coolly clean, elegantly sweet

Recommended preparation

Usucha

2 g matcha + 60–70 ml, 75–80 °C water • 15–20 sec frothing

Koicha

4 g matcha + 30–35 ml, 60–65 °C • slow, stirring until thick

Note: Kiwami is a balanced, "safe choice" for ceremonial use; less extremely dense and layered than Zen.

Daily ritual / latte → Sae

Personal contact

Our teas don't come from wholesale warehouses or unknown sources. We travel to the small producers we source from – whether it's a Japanese family tea garden, a Chinese mountain village or an oolong maker in Taiwan.

Stories

We meet them in person, learn their story, see how they care for their plants, and how they process the fresh leaves.
These experiences are the soul of our teas. This way, not only is the quality guaranteed, but also the fact that behind each cup there is a real person, a real story.

Direct

This direct relationship is valuable to us. Not only because of the excellent tea, but because we believe that trust, respect and personal presence are what make the tea drinking experience truly special.
