A little about matcha from Yame, Kyushu
Yame is located in southern Fukuoka, on Japan’s Kyushu island.
It’s a region surrounded by mountains, clean rivers, and morning mist, creating ideal conditions for high-quality tea. The fog and temperature difference between day and night help tea plants develop rich amino acids (L-theanine) - the source of umami and natural sweetness.
Yame matcha is prized for its smooth, mellow taste and low bitterness, compared to matcha from other regions like Uji or Shizuoka.
Its high L-theanine content gives it a rounded, savoury flavour and creamy mouthfeel that even beginners can enjoy straight or in lattes.
Because of the region’s fertile volcanic soil and careful shading methods, Yame matcha has a deep, vivid green hue and fresh grassy aroma.
The colour stays bright even in milk drinks - making it ideal for matcha lattes and desserts that look as good as they taste.
