Origin
Born in the fertile landscapes of Yame, this matcha is a testament to the fine art of tea cultivation. In a region known for its exquisite Gyokuro tea, the tea plants thrive in ideal conditions. The result is a matcha of unparalleled quality, characterized by an excellent taste, a bright color and a deep, rich aroma.
Manufacturing
In a process similar to Gyokuro, it is grown using traditional methods in which the tea plants are shaded with reeds and straw to block light before harvesting. This gives the leaves of the Yabukita cultivar, hand-picked in the first harvest in May, their unique character. Its production, characterized by traditional grinding in stone mills, unfolds a sensory experience that invigorates the senses and honors Yame's rich tea culture.
The taste
The flavor composition of this matcha is a true work of art. It combines sweet basic notes with gentle fruit aromas and a distinctive umami note. It is ideal for matcha newbies and also offers connoisseurs a sophisticated discovery. It is best enjoyed pure as a tea or as a creamy matcha latte to experience its full range of flavors.

After a little practice, matcha tea can be prepared in no time. Not only does it serve as pure enjoyment, but it also opens the door to many other creative recipes.
1. Seven
Carefully sift 2 grams of matcha (about 1 teaspoon) into a bowl to prevent lumps from forming.

Chase the matcha and water together in a Z-shaped motion for about 20 seconds.
4. Enjoy
As soon as a creamy foam forms, enjoy the tea or use it for creations such as matcha latte.
Frequently Asked Questions
Your questions are important to us. To help you as best as possible, we have put together a selection of the most frequently asked questions here.
Is shipping free?

How long does it take to receive my order?

How do I recognize high-quality matcha?
- The color should be bright and vibrant green. A yellowish or brownish color indicates poor quality.
- A fresh smell with a sweet note. If the matcha smells musty or very bitter, it is of lower quality.
- When it comes to taste, a good matcha impresses with its sweet and mild note.
- Other signs can include organic certification, an exceptionally fine consistency and a higher price.
Why does high-quality matcha form clumps?
Interestingly, lumps in matcha are not a sign of poor quality. In fact, high-quality matcha that is ground very finely tends to form lumps even with minimal moisture. Lower quality matcha, which tends to be ground more coarsely, shows this tendency less strongly.
To prevent lumps from forming in matcha, we recommend straining the matcha powder through a fine sieve before preparing it.
