About
Our Matcha Story
It all started with a trip to Japan, where we fell in love with the calm rhythm of Japanese tea culture. From understanding the artistry of tea preparation to savoring the first sip. It was a moment that grounded us, cleared our minds, and reminded us of the power of simplicity.
We were captivated by the quiet rituals, the attention to detail, and the way a single bowl of matcha could create a sense of calm. We realized how much we needed that same feeling in our everyday lives. Life moves fast and somewhere in all that, we forget to just be.
At Sayū, we bring that feeling home. Smooth, authentic matcha that reminds you to pause, breathe, reconnect and enjoy the little things.
Sayū means balance or harmony.
It reflects the idea that opposing sides can coexist and complement one another, like yin and yang.
The Art of Matcha
Matcha begins long before the harvest. It starts in the tea fields where the leaves are shaded from the sun to concentrate their color and deepen their natural umami. Every step is guided by tradition and trust in the pace of nature.
Only the youngest and most delicate leaves are picked by hand. This time-honored method preserves the purity of the leaf and reflects the care behind every cup. True quality cannot be rushed.
From the Heart of Kagoshima
Kagoshima. A lush region in the south of Japan known for its rich volcanic soil and pure spring water. The warm climate and mineral-rich earth create the perfect conditions for growing vibrant, high-quality tea leaves.
Kagoshima’s farmers have mastered the craft of tea cultivation through generations, combining tradition with care for the land. The result is a smooth, naturally sweet matcha with a deep green color and balanced flavor.
