A Grand Prix Winning Expression of Yame’s Terroir

Harvested in April from the misty, mountainous region of Yame, this exquisite first flush Sencha is crafted entirely from the prized Saemidori cultivar, renowned for its silky sweetness and refined umami. Shaded for 12 days before harvest to enrich its amino acids, the leaves undergo medium steaming (Chūmushi), yielding a luminous green liquor with remarkable depth and clarity.

• Liquor: Vivid jade-green with a radiant glow.

• Aroma: Fresh, verdant, with subtle floral undertones.

• Taste: A graceful harmony of sweetness, rich umami, and soft vegetal tones, balanced with an elegant, lingering finish that defines Yame’s finest teas.
