PRODUCT DETAILS

Crafted from first harvest (Ichibancha) Saemidori leaves, SAEKA is a deeply steamed (fukamushi) sencha, finely milled into a soft, whiskable powder.

From the very first moment water touches the powder, SAEKA reveals its character.

A striking floral aroma rises instantly, bright and expressive, layered with gentle sweetness. Beneath this sits a warm, brothy depth of umami, reminiscent of a delicate green tea soup.

Thanks to the deep steaming process, the powder disperses effortlessly, coming together quickly into a smooth, creamy cup with minimal whisking.

Prepared in the style of usucha, it forms a soft foam and vibrant green body without the need for sifting.

On the palate, SAEKA is:
 • Mellow and rounded
 • Naturally sweet with no bitterness
 • Carrying a clean, lingering finish

The SAEKA story

Not matcha. Something altogether different.

SAEKA is a deeply steamed, stone-milled green tea powder made from first harvest Saemidori leaves. A single cultivar, a single origin, a single season. Brighter, more floral, and naturally sweet, with the same effortless whisking you love from ceremonial matcha.

Discover SAEKA in 2 minutes

See how sencha powder differs from matcha, and learn how to whisk your first cup.

Sencha powder vs matcha — what’s the difference?

Both come from the same plant and are stone-milled the same way. Neither is “better” — they are two different expressions of Japanese green tea.

Processing SAEKA sencha powder Matcha ceremonial
Growing Grown in full sun — unshaded sencha leaves develop a bright, lively character Shade-grown for weeks before harvest, concentrating chlorophyll and amino acids
Steaming Deep steamed (fukamushi) for ~90 seconds, softening the leaf completely Lightly steamed to preserve the leaf before drying into tencha
Flavour Bright, floral and naturally sweet with a gentle brothy depth Deeper umami — rich, grassy and rounded
In the cup Dissolves effortlessly, no sifting needed; creamy with a soft, fine foam Best sifted first; whisks into a dense, velvety foam
Harvest First harvest (Ichibancha) Saemidori only, stone-milled First harvest tencha, stone-milled
Reach for it when You want a lighter, brighter cup — iced lattes, a fresh change of pace You want the classic ceremonial ritual and full umami hit

                    "This saeka is a true delight. So similar to matcha, but a bit more grassy with a gentle bitterness that makes a wonderful tea or milk-based drink. I will definitely buy more."
