Sae Midori Sencha
Available Soon as Shincha HERE
Hey green tea lovers! In case you're not familiar with it, let us introduce you to something truly special: Kagoshima Sae Midori. This first-harvest sencha comes straight from the southern tip of Japan and is a gem that's not to be missed.
We at O-Cha.com pride ourselves on being pioneers, as we were probably the first online shops to ever bring the delightful Sae Midori to tea enthusiasts all over the globe. And guess what? It's been a hit ever since!
Brewing this tea is a breeze! Sae Midori is a unique blend of Yabukita and Asa-Tsuyu tea plants, first registered in 1990. Thriving in the frost-free climes of Southern Kagoshima, this tea boasts a vibrant color and a tempting, sweet aroma that's reminiscent of fresh grass. Just opening the package sends out a wave of scent that's absolutely heavenly. It’s truly a spectacle in green, offering one of the richest emerald hues you'll ever see in a tea.
Here's a little tip: Sae Midori is a deep-steamed green tea with very fine leaves, almost like dust. While you can brew it in various teapots, it shines brightest when made in a teapot designed for fukamushi-cha. Trust us, it makes a difference!
Ready to give it a try? We offer these beautiful 100-gram packages just waiting to be a part of your tea collection. We're pretty sure you're going to love it as much as we do!
Product questions

How much will the flavor of the tea will be missing if I just infuse it through a mesh sieve in a mug?
Mar 26, 2022, 13:43If you pre-heat your mug, pay attention to your brew times and temperature, you shouldn't lose any flavor. Those factors are more important than what you use to brew it in.

Customer reviews
- AGGELOS LECHOURITISDec 16, 2023, 05:45Unexpectable sweet for a fukamushi with tons of umami and grassy flavor. By far the best sencha i have ever tried.
- Donny PayneJun 18, 2020, 13:46Amazing color and taste on this tea. Naturally sweet.
- Matthew Amster-BurtonSep 4, 2017, 02:25It's hard not to focus on the color of this most brilliantly green of teas. But you'd recognize the grassy flavor even in the dark. Not as funky as the Yutaka Midori, this is my all-around favorite tea.
- ReinerAug 9, 2017, 19:22Delicious tea! Very Refreshing and easy to boil
- Risto OjalaJun 2, 2017, 22:30Delicious when brewed at right temperature. Remember to warm up the tea pot, too.
- Matt SinforosaMay 25, 2017, 00:32This is a beautiful deep steamed green tea. Lots of tiny particles which I love. I am reviewing the 2016 harvest in April/May 2017 so it's a full year old and still amazing. Rich grassy flavor, lots of umami, really good.
- Patrick de KokMay 13, 2017, 06:47This is the first fukamushi tea I have tried. I love the deep green color, especially of the second brew!
However, going by flavor, I don't think I am much of a fukamushi-person. The flavor is mildly green (as you may expect from a fukamushi, from what I understand). I like a tea with some more body, like kariganes.
However, I do think it has a nice typical flavor profile that will find appreciation from deep steamed tea aficionados. - Ervin LorinczJan 3, 2017, 02:34Probably one of the best teas available, especially if you, like me, are an absolute fanatic of deep steamed green tea (fukamushi). I have been buying this tea for many years and the quality and freshness has always been impeccable.
