FKRO Organic Saemidori Ceremonial Matcha Green Tea Powder — 30g Tin, First-Harvest Single-Cultivar, Stone-Ground

FKRO Organic Saemidori Ceremonial Matcha is a single-cultivar, first-harvest Japanese stone-ground powder delivered monthly in a 30g tin for traditional whisking or modern recipes.

This matcha comes from Saemidori leaves grown at 600 m in the Tenryu valley of Shizuoka, shaded and hand-tended on a single family farm, then stone-milled to an exceptionally fine texture. It is USDA Organic and JAS certified, air-flown from Japan in small batches so you receive a fresh, vivid green powder with a naturally sweet, bright profile—ideal for daily usucha, lattes, or culinary uses.

How does FKRO Saemidori matcha differ from blended or lower-grade powders?

Unlike blended or culinary-grade matchas, this product is a single-cultivar (Saemidori) and sourced from a first harvest, which emphasizes sweetness and a rounded umami without harsh bitterness. The stone-milling process yields a superfine powder that integrates smoothly into water or milk.

• Single-cultivar Saemidori—no mixing with other varieties
• First-harvest leaves for sweeter, delicate flavor
• Stone-ground texture for finer mouthfeel and uniform whisking
• Small-batch air-flown freshness from Japan monthly

How should I prepare it for traditional whisked tea or a latte?

For a classic usucha (thin tea), whisk 1–2 g of matcha with about 60–80 ml of water at ~80–82°C (175–180°F) until frothy. For lattes, dissolve the same amount in a small amount of hot water before adding warm milk or plant-based milk and frothing.

• Usucha: 1–2 g matcha + 60–80 ml 80–82°C water, whisk until foam forms
• Matcha latte: dissolve in hot water, add 150–200 ml milk, froth to texture
• Adjust grams for strength—about 15 servings in a 30 g tin
• Use a fine sieve if clumps form before whisking

What flavor profile and aroma should I expect from Saemidori first-harvest matcha?

Expect a bright green color with grassy, vegetal top notes and a pronounced natural sweetness from the early harvest. The mid-palate shows smooth umami and only a mild, pleasant astringency rather than sharp bitterness, making it approachable for daily drinking or creative recipes.

• Color: vivid, emerald green indicating fresh chlorophyll
• Aroma: fresh grassy and vegetal scents with light floral hints
• Taste: natural sweetness, gentle umami, low bitterness
• Finish: clean and lingering without harsh aftertaste

How should I store FKRO matcha and how long does it stay fresh?

Keep the 30 g tin tightly sealed, stored in a cool, dark place away from heat, light, and strong odors. Once opened, use within 4–8 weeks for peak flavor; refrigeration can extend freshness but avoid moisture exposure.

• Seal the tin after each use to minimize air exposure
• Store in a cool, dark cupboard or refrigerate in an airtight container
• Avoid direct sunlight, warm spots, and strong-smelling foods
• Best flavor when consumed within 4–8 weeks of opening
