About this item

• 🍵The tea produced in Fukuoka Prefecture is called “Yame Tea”. The harvesting of Yame Tea’s first flush begins in mid-April and reaches its peak in early May. When the finished tea (green tea) is brewed in a teapot, it turns green and has a sweet, rich flavor with a strong umami taste. Fukuoka Prefecture is also known as a production area for gyokuro, with Yame Traditional Hon Gyokuro being the most famous.
• 🍵Yame-cha is a rare tea leaf with only 3% production nationwide. 100% Yame-cha leaves are very rare, and even if they are labeled as Yame-cha, many of them are mixed with tea leaves from other prefectures. Among them, our Yame-cha is 100% pure Yame-cha leaves without any mixture.
• 🍵Hoshino-cha is a tea produced in ‘Hoshino Village’ in the Yamate area of Yame-cha. Hoshino Village is a famous area for gyokuro, and the tea leaves produced in this village are of high quality and luxury.
• 🍵The difference in the price of Yame-cha tea leaves is that the higher the price, the earlier in the year the tea leaves are picked, and the stronger the sweetness. The cheaper the price, the later in the year the tea leaves are picked, so the bitterness increases.
• 🍵The quality of Yame-cha tea leaves can be judged by the color and shape of the leaves. The darker green and slender the tea leaves, the higher the quality and the more luxurious the tea leaves. The later in the year the tea leaves are picked, the more yellowish they become.
• 🍵In addition to the commonly drunk sencha and shiraore, Yame-cha also has kabuse-cha and fukamushi-cha. Furthermore, the famous high-quality tea leaf gyokuro is a representative green tea of Yame-cha, characterized by its lack of astringency.
• 🍵Yame-cha is a high-quality tea with characteristic sweetness and umami. The water temperature should be below 60°C and wait slowly. Depending on the tea leaves, wait for about 1.5 to 2 minutes.
• 🍵The higher the quality of the tea leaves, the more you wait at a low temperature. In the case of gyokuro or traditional hon-gyokuro, pour lukewarm water at about 40°C over plenty of tea leaves and wait for about 2 minutes until the sweetness and umami come out.
• 🍵When you want to enjoy green tea with your meal, the more greasy the meal, the more people prefer green tea with astringency brewed at a high temperature. Depending on what you eat with your tea, you can adjust the taste with temperature and enjoy the real pleasure of green tea.
• 🍵Our green tea is additive-free, fragrance-free, and preservative-free, and is 100% cultivated and harvested in the famous Yame region of Japan for green tea production. ‘Yame-cha’ is a green tea characterized by its sweetness and umami.
