Yame is traditionally famous for producing high-quality gyokuro (premium shaded sencha). Since gyokuro and matcha share similar cultivation methods (both use shading techniques), Yame has accumulated extensive know-how in shaded tea production over many years.
Yame matcha is characterized by a nutty aroma and a deep, rich flavor. It is highly popular and well appreciated by overseas customers. While the name “Yame Matcha” is not yet widely recognized internationally, it is strongly recommended for those who want to pursue top-level quality.
“Yame no Mukashi” is a premium-grade matcha that was awarded the Gold Prize at Japanese Tea Selection Paris 2025, a recognition by international tea professionals for its outstanding quality, depth of umami, and refined balance.
Carefully crafted to be suitable for both thick tea (koicha) and light tea (usucha), this matcha delivers true koicha-grade quality despite its accessible pricing, offering a genuinely luxurious tea experience.
Made from 100% Yame-grown tencha, it features a rich umami and natural sweetness, with minimal bitterness and astringency. A delightfully nutty aroma adds depth and elegance to its smooth, well-rounded flavor profile.
This matcha is ideal for those who appreciate a refined, mellow, and competition-recognized quality.
