The cultivar: The Saemidori cultivar is a variety of Japanese tea, more specifically green tea, that has become popular in recent years. “Saemidori” is a Japanese term meaning “bright green” or “fresh green”.

This variety was developed by the Shizuoka Agricultural Research Center in Japan by crossing two other varieties of tea, the Yabukita cultivar and the Asatsuyu cultivar. The goal was to create a variety of tea that would produce bright green leaves and deliver a smooth, umami flavor.

Saemidori is renowned for its bright green leaves, rich flavor and characteristic sweetness. It is often used to produce high quality tea, including sencha and matcha. Saemidori sencha is loved for its fresh herbal aroma and balanced flavor, while Saemidori matcha is sought after for its bright color and mild taste.

How to prepare Koicha matcha: Use 4 to 5g of matcha for 4cl of water between 65 and 75 degrees, then mix slowly with the Chasen (whisk).
