Informatie over de boerderij

Matcha Zen Sakamoto is produced by Mr. Sakamoto in Shibushi, Kagoshima, on the southern island of Kyushu.

Afkomstig uit Kagoshima

Japan

Matcha Zen Sakamoto is grown in the town of Shibushi in Kagoshima, Japan. This region in southern Kyushu benefits from a warm subtropical climate, seasonal rainfall, and fertile volcanic soils, conditions that make it one of Japan’s best areas for producing top-quality matcha.

Cultivar en theeplantvariëteit

Matcha Zen Sakamoto takes its character from Haruto 34, a rare cultivar prized for its calm, layered sweetness and refined umami. Haruto 34 responds beautifully to long shading in Kagoshima’s mild climate, yielding a powder with a luminous green hue, fine foam, and a gently floral lift over a smooth, brothy core. The result is a meditative cup that feels elegant rather than aggressive, with low bitterness and a clean, lingering finish.

  • Haruto 34

    Haruto 34 is a rare cultivar that produces teas with a serene balance of umami and floral sweetness. Known for its complexity, it requires great skill to cultivate but rewards the effort with teas that deliver both depth and elegance. In matcha, Haruto 34 shines with a layered, meditative taste profile.
