This isn't mass-market matcha.
This is a 70-year legacy from Kagoshima—a land that's embraced innovation since the Satsuma era.

🌱 Rare & Organic
Japan's largest organic tea region. Growing organic matcha-grade tencha is exceptionally difficult—it requires years of soil preparation, natural pest management, and patience.
That's why Kagoshima organic matcha remains rare worldwide.

☁️ Shade-Grown Under Natural Mist
Covered by nature's own canopy and traditional shade structures, our tea plants develop intense L-theanine and chlorophyll.
The result? Maximum umami—sweet, smooth, never bitter.

🪨 Stone-Ground with Precision
Each leaf is slowly ground by traditional stone mills.
It takes 1 hour to grind just 40 grams.
The gentle friction generates heat that unlocks deeper aromatics without burning delicate flavors.

👁️ Selected by a 10th-段(Level) Master Tea Maker

Kenta Ikeda, from the 1948-founded Ikeda Seicha tea merchant family, holds the highest tea master certification in Japan.
Only 23 people have ever earned this title in 70 years.
He doesn't just grow tea—he finishes, refines, and perfects it.

From volcanic soil to your cup.
Crafted by nature.

Perfected by a master.

Rare. Organic. Kagoshima.
Not all matcha is created equal.

Kagoshima is Japan’s largest producer of certified-organic tea—
and one of the few regions capable of producing organic tencha for matcha.

Fog-grown sweetness, high-shade depth, and slow stone-milling
preserve every layer of aroma and umami.

Ikeda Seicha, established in 1948, brings decades of expertise.
Its owner is a Tea Master 10th Dan,
a title held by only 23 specialists in Japan’s long tea history.

Craft, nature, and innovation—beautifully united in one cup.
Always Innovative, Since Satsuma.
