Great drinkability — everyone’s favourite Saemidori is the friendliest cultivar we know. Mild, sweet, and easy to love — it’s the one that everyone comes back to. Across Japan, Saemidori’s cultivation area has been steadily growing, drawn by its exceptional quality and sweetness. This blend is crafted by Mr. Ishida, a tea master whose defining pursuit is sweetness. His work spans many styles of tea, but it’s always drinkable — made for everyone. For this particular blend, he sources the best Saemidori leaves each year from across Kagoshima, a region known for its volcanic terroir, which gives the tea a rich, full-bodied character. Through careful selection, blending, and expert final firing, he shapes a Saemidori that is sweet, silky, and gently rounded with a warm roasted finish. This is our most repurchased tea. The kind you want to drink every day, in large amounts, without ever getting tired of it. A perfect starting point if you’re new to Japanese tea — and a reliable companion if you’re not. Even if you use a little too much leaf or your water is a touch too hot, this tea won’t punish you. It stays mild and forgiving, every time.
