This best-in-class Matcha from the Sakamoto family in Kagoshima represents a new era. Silky, sweet, and brimming with umami rarely found outside Japan’s traditional Matcha-producing regions, this tea is a true standout. We’re incredibly proud to share it with you—and we haven’t been this excited about a Matcha in a long time.Our new cafe concept: Kettl Matcha Sen Mon Ten is our commitment to honoring the past, elevating the present, and shaping the future of Matcha together with the producers who make it possible. These collaboration selections will be exclusively sold at Sen Mon Ten, except for limited drops online to share with our wider audience who can't visit the shop as often.
