At Elly Amai, we serve high-grade ceremonial matcha sourced from Shizuoka Prefecture, Japan.

Produced by Sasaki Seicha, a tea house established in 1921, this matcha comes from a region often considered the backbone of Japanese tea cultivation. Tea has been grown in Shizuoka since the 13th century, with its reputation shaped over centuries of refinement and care.

The fields sit in volcanic soil influenced by Mt. Fuji, with morning river mist and a mild coastal climate that help preserve amino acids in the leaves. This is what gives the tea its natural sweetness and smooth character without harsh bitterness.

This batch is made from the Tsuyuhikari cultivar, harvested May to June 2025, and selected specifically for usucha preparation. The flavor is clean and vibrant with balanced umami, gentle sweetness, and a soft, approachable finish.

We prepare it traditionally, whisked to order throughout the day.

Matcha is not just about grade.
It’s about the land, the season, and the hands that care for it.
