From the mist-shrouded valleys of Yame in Fukuoka prefecture comes Yame Suien, a ceremonial-grade matcha that embodies the soul of this renowned tea region. Grown in nutrient-rich soil and shaded with care, its leaves yield a cup defined by harmony, strength, and refinement.

Stone-ground from the first harvest, Yame Suien unveils a vivid emerald hue and an aroma both deep and soothing. At first taste, it presents an elegant, balanced bitterness—graceful rather than harsh—followed by a surge of intense umami that coats the palate. Beneath it all lies a warm, nutty undertone reminiscent of roasted chestnut, adding comfort and complexity to its layered flavor.

The mouthfeel is velvety and full, lingering with a satisfying depth that reflects Yame’s mastery of tea cultivation. It’s a matcha for those who appreciate intensity with refinement—a tea that commands quiet attention.

Whether prepared as usucha for everyday meditation or as a centerpiece in a ceremonial gathering, Yame Suien celebrates the artistry, terroir, and enduring spirit of Yame’s tea tradition.
