About Three Types of SEN Matcha
This season's three matchas
TOKIWA, Kyoto
In Uji, Kyoto—the heart of Japan's matcha culture—lies a rare gem: organic, single-origin ichibancha (first harvest) matcha, carefully cultivated in the surrounding fields. With a delicate harmony of subtle bitterness and sweetness, it offers a pure and refined taste. This ceremonial-grade matcha is perfectly suited for traditional tea ceremonies as well as for moments of heartfelt hospitality.

ASAMIDORI, Fukuoka
Cultivated in Yame City, Fukuoka Prefecture—synonymous with high-grade tea and winner of the "Emperor's Cup," the highest honor in Japanese agriculture—this masterpiece has been selected as the pinnacle among countless teas. The resulting Matcha, characterized by an elegant sweetness and mellow umami that requires no sugar, offers a flavor profile with almost no bitterness, serving as a supreme gift that conveys unmatched dignity and a unique story.

FUKAMIDORI, Saitama
Sayama tea from Saitama Prefecture is celebrated as one of Japan's three great teas. Its hallmark lies in the unique roasting technique known as Sayama Fire, which imparts a bold, toasty aroma and deep richness that lingers long after the first sip. With restrained sweetness, a crisp finish, and a vibrant green hue, this robust matcha is ideal for lattes.
