Saemidori from Yame

Saemidori from Yame by Rebel Bunny is a single-origin Japanese matcha sourced from Yame, Fukuoka; one of Japan’s most renowned matcha-producing regions. This matcha, stone-ground from first-harvest tea leaves, offers a refined balance between a gentle bitterness and a smooth sweetness, resulting in a rich and velvety taste experience.

When prepared as usucha, this matcha reveals a light yet pleasant bitterness with a soft texture and layered depth. When combined with milk, warmer, nutty notes emerge, along with a chocolatey aroma that creates a creamy and rounded finish. Compared to brighter and more floral varieties, Saemidori from Yame has a deeper, softer and more comforting profile.

Its versatility makes it particularly well-suited to creamy matcha lattes, whilst remaining expressive enough for traditional preparations. An excellent choice for matcha drinkers seeking a fuller-bodied Japanese matcha with a gentle richness and a balanced character.
