Yame no Tsuyu, meaning “Dew of Yame,” is a ceremonial-grade matcha crafted in the famous Yame region of Fukuoka. This area is renowned for producing teas with a naturally rich umami and smooth sweetness thanks to its cool climate, misty valleys, and traditional shaded cultivation.
This matcha has a vivid green color, a silky texture, and a balanced flavor profile — gentle umami, subtle natural sweetness, and minimal bitterness. It’s perfect for both traditional usucha (thin tea) and for whisking into your own latte at home.
