Produced by Hoshino Seichaen in the mountainous village of Hoshino, Yame — home to a tea master with over 70 years of expertise. 

Sazanka is a versatile culinary stone milled grade matcha created for everyday enjoyment.

It offers a fresh, grassy character with gentle umami and a pleasantly bittersweet finish. Its more pronounced flavour holds up particularly well when combined with milk, making it an excellent choice for matcha lattes, while also being suitable for smoothies, baking and desserts.
