An expressive assembly of six celebrated Japanese cultivars:Yutakamidori,Saemidori,Yabukita,Asanoka,Kanayamidori,andOkumidori— each contributing its own character to create a balanced, multi-layered matcha unlike any single-cultivar blend.

The Story Behind the Name

The Volcanic Sentinel.Just as the Säntis stands bold and commanding, this Kagoshima blend is grown in fertile volcanic soils to deliver a "pleasant intensity." An assembly of six cultivars (including Saemidori and Asanoka) creates a rich, multi-layered umami that is smooth enough for tradition, yet bold enough for a premium latte.

Kagoshima Tea Farm

A New Standard in Japanese Matcha

Kagoshima, located in the southern region of Japan, Kagoshima is emerging as one of the most exciting origins in the world of premium matcha.

Unlike the small, fragmented farms found in more traditional regions, tea cultivation in Kagoshima is defined bylarge, well-managed estates. This allows for a more controlled growing environment and significantly reduces the risk of cross-contamination from neighboring farms. As a result, Kagoshima has become especially recognized for itsadvanced pesticide management and consistent quality standards.

Freshly Stone-milled in Uji, Japan

We work directly with a historic Uji tea manufactory with over 100 years of expertise, sourcing matcha in small batches and keeping inventory within one to three months. That means what arrives in your cup is always at its freshest — vibrant, alive, and full of flavor.

Uji Craftsmanship

Our matcha is traditionally stone-ground using slow, meticulous methods that preserve its delicate aroma and create a rich, layered flavor. After generations of refinement, tea masters have found that a millstone size of 1 shaku 1 sun (approximately 33.3 cm in diameter) produces the ideal matcha texture. This carefully balanced size has become the modern standard for achieving the best flavor, color, and whisking performance.

What if the stone is too big?
