Saikou Matcha: Rooted in Purity, Elevated by Tradition

The Essence of Organic Perfection

At Saikou Matcha, our commitment to supreme quality begins at the source. Nestled in the subtropical climate of Kagoshima, on the island of Kyushu, our organic tea farm thrives amidst abundant sunshine and rainfall. This region, renowned for its vast tea fields, sets the stage for the cultivation of our exceptional matcha.

A Symphony of Natural Elements

Our tea plants bask in the unique environment of high altitude, around 500 meters above sea level. Here, the fast-changing air pressure creates a natural mist, a gentle veil that protects the plants from direct sunlight. This mist, along with the sharp temperature differences between day and night, nurtures tea leaves with a rich, full-bodied flavor and natural sweetness, reflecting the essence of our matcha.

A Volcanic Legacy

The legacy of ancient volcanic eruptions blesses our soil with rich minerals, enhancing the growth of our tea plants. This mineral-rich land, coupled with an abundance of spring water, creates a perfect harmony for cultivating matcha of unparalleled quality. Our use of mineral-rich spring water in both the steaming process and plant irrigation adds a distinctive vibrancy to the tea leaves, further elevating the quality of Saikou Matcha.

Sustainability and Tradition

In line with our ethos of edginess and superiority, we embrace the traditional yet innovative approach to organic farming. Our tea plants, allowed to mature for five years before harvesting, develop stronger roots that draw more nutrients, enhancing the robustness and flavor profile of our matcha. We shun synthetic fertilizers, opting instead for home-made organic compost, meticulously fermented for four years. This commitment to organic practices ensures a product free from chemicals and rich in natural goodness.

Harmony with Nature

Our farm’s location amidst other organic certified farms safeguards our crops from contamination, maintaining the purity and integrity of our matcha. The absence of pesticides and herbicides, along with manual weed removal, promotes a thriving ecosystem where beneficial insects play a vital role in pest control.

Tested for Excellence

In our relentless pursuit of quality, all our teas undergo stringent testing for pesticides and radiation residues in top-tier laboratories in Germany, ensuring that what reaches you is nothing but the best.
