For those in search of a smooth yet deep matcha, the Matcha Zen Sakamoto delivers a refined balance between sweetness and umami. Crafted from the rare Haruto 34 cultivar, this tea is cultivated in Shibushi, Kagoshima, under the watchful care of Mr. Sakamoto. Haruto 34 is celebrated for producing teas with a layered, almost meditative profile, making this matcha stand out for both its taste and its calm, elegant energy.

Taste

Discover the results of Nio Teas’ 4 step tea tasting method

When assessing the Matcha Zen Sakamoto, we look not only at its flavor but also at its appearance, aroma, and texture. This matcha embodies the philosophy of balance, offering harmony between savory, sweet, and slightly floral notes.

Step 1 - Observing the Appearance

The Matcha Zen Sakamoto presents a striking green powder with a silky finish. Its fine texture ensures smooth whisking, producing a vibrant froth that reflects the care and precision of its processing.

Step 2 - Assessing the Aroma

The aroma carries a gentle sweetness with hints of steamed rice and fresh spring grass, layered with a faint floral undertone that sets it apart from more robust matcha varieties.

Step 3 - Tasting the Tea

On the first sip, this matcha opens with a delicate sweetness that quickly deepens into a savory umami core. The mid-palate brings a soothing, broth-like richness, followed by a finish that lingers with subtle floral and mineral notes.

Step 4 - Evaluating the sensation on the palate

The mouthfeel is velvety and thick, coating the tongue without bitterness. The experience is rounded, smooth, and deeply satisfying, making it perfect for a calm tea session.

100% Organically grown and Ethically Sourced

At Nio Teas, we exclusively partner with farmers like Mr. Sakamoto who cultivate tea without pesticides or chemicals. This method not only elevates the taste but also promotes biodiversity in the fields.

Location of production and farmer

Information about the farm

Matcha Zen Sakamoto is produced by Mr. Sakamoto in Shibushi, Kagoshima, on the southern island of Kyushu. His organic techniques, powered by his self-developed natural fertilizer, nurture rich and healthy soils that sustain the delicate Haruto 34 cultivar. This careful approach yields a tea that is both flavorful and environmentally harmonious.

Sourced in Kagoshima

Japan

Matcha Zen Sakamoto is grown in the town of Shibushi in Kagoshima, Japan. This region in southern Kyushu benefits from a warm subtropical climate, seasonal rainfall, and fertile volcanic soils, conditions that make it one of Japan’s best areas for producing top-quality matcha.

Cultivar and tea plant variety

Matcha Zen Sakamoto takes its character from Haruto 34, a rare cultivar prized for its calm, layered sweetness and refined umami. Haruto 34 responds beautifully to long shading in Kagoshima’s mild climate, yielding a powder with a luminous green hue, fine foam, and a gently floral lift over a smooth, brothy core. The result is a meditative cup that feels elegant rather than aggressive, with low bitterness and a clean, lingering finish.

  • Haruto 34

    Haruto 34 is a rare cultivar that produces teas with a serene balance of umami and floral sweetness. Known for its complexity, it requires great skill to cultivate but rewards the effort with teas that deliver both depth and elegance. In matcha, Haruto 34 shines with a layered, meditative taste profile.
