Seiei Matcha – Shizuoka, Japan
2026 First Harvest
For 2026, Seiei (青影, “Green Shadow”) has been newly re-blended using exclusively first-harvest tencha from the 2026 spring season.
This year’s blend was crafted to bring greater depth, balance, and presence to the cup. Vibrant green in color with a smooth, creamy texture, Seiei opens with fresh vegetal sweetness and rich umami, followed by a pronounced returning sweetness (hui gan) and a clean, lingering finish.
Cultivated from the renowned Yabukita cultivar in the misty hills of Shizuoka’s Kakegawa region, Seiei (青影, “Green Shadow”) Matcha is a ceremonial-grade tea that embodies clarity, richness, and depth. Shade-grown and stone-milled to a silky powder, it reveals a vibrant green hue, creamy texture, and refined character.
Flavor profile:
Aroma: Fresh grass, clean, subtle floral
Palate: Creamy, smooth, balanced umami
Finish: Nutty, creamy, lingering sweetness
Matcha Seiei is excellent for usucha (thin tea), yet it shines even more beautifully in a matcha latte — where the Yabukita cultivar’s depth and creaminess create a perfectly balanced and indulgent experience.
