MATSU: The Gold Standard of Organic Uji Matcha
Single Cultivar (Saemidori) | Certified Organic | 1st Flush
MATSU is our best-selling ceremonial matcha, and the reason is in the first sip.
Crafted from 100% Saemidori (literally 'clear green'), a cultivar prized by connoisseurs for its natural sweetness and remarkably mellow character. Like KIRI, it belongs to the rare 1% of Uji matcha that is JAS Organic certified, proving that you don't have to sacrifice taste for purity.
Why MATSU is our Best-seller
- The Saemidori Cultivar: Known as a "connoisseur's cultivar," Saemidori is naturally sweet & low in bitterness. MATSU delivers a creamy, rounded umami with signature notes of toasted nuts and a hint of chocolate
- Vibrant 1st Flush Quality: We use only the first spring harvest. These young, shade-grown leaves are bursting with L-theanine, providing a "calm-alert" energy without the jittery crash of coffee
- Certified Organic (JAS): Grown without synthetic chemicals, MATSU offers a "clean" taste that reflects the pristine environment of the Wazuka valleys
- Traditional Stone-Milling: Ground at just 30g per hour on granite. This ancient pace prevents heat friction, preserving delicate antioxidants, silky texture, and vivid colour
Our Freshness Guarantee: Stone-milled in small batches and sealed on-site in airtight tins immediately after milling to lock in MATSU's vivid hue and delicate aroma from the moment it's made.

Store in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight. For peak flavour and colour, enjoy within 1–2 months of opening. Avoid refrigeration, moisture and absorbed odours can compromise the delicate aroma
Found my new favourite, my only go-to now!
Thanks for the demonstration and showing me how to find my golden ratio. It’s a next level experience and is fun! Look forward to seeing you again in the markets =)
Came across Poems at our local market and met these lovely tea enthusiasts who introduced me to sipping Matsu matcha straight (I usually have mine with milk!). As promised, the chocolate notes really came through and lingered with a creamy finish. Super enjoyable!
Tried all 3 matcha powder.
Matsu surprised me with a smooth, creamy texture and a subtle milk chocolate note. There’s a nice balance of umami and a gentle sweetness that makes it really enjoyable. It works beautifully on its own as Usucha, but shines even better in lattes. The creaminess and chocolate-like depth really come through.
