ABOUT RIKYU
WHERE IS SAYAMA?
Sayama is located in Saitama Prefecture, just north of Tokyo. It is one of Japan’s traditional tea-growing regions and is known for producing tea with a rich aroma, deep flavour, and smooth finish.
Unlike mass-produced tea regions, Sayama is known for quality, craftsmanship, and small-scale production.
WHY SAYAMA MATCHA?
Sayama tea is known for its full-bodied aroma and strong Japanese tea character.
The cooler climate supports slow growth, helping create deeper flavour.
Sayama tea producers are highly skilled and focus on quality over quantity.
