Yama Matcha Tin

Description

Yama is a masterpiece from Japan’s Southern Alps, and exemplifies clarity and centuries of history. The Honyama region produces teas that are renowned for an impeccable balance of sweetness and clean umami, with a fresh, airy, and slightly floral aroma evocative of its mountainous terroir.

Aroma: fresh, airy, and slightly floral like a misty mountain.
Flavor profile: rich umami, deep sweetness. Froths like a dream!

Using a time-honored technique called gogumi, this matcha is a blend of first-harvest Okumidori, Saemidori, Inaguchi, and Asahikari cultivars and dances across the palate. The Honyama region is famed for cedar groves, mineral-rich soil, and clear rivers. The natural shading of the dense mountain fog elicits tea with soft, smooth flavors, bright color, and a clear aroma that reminds you of the mountains. The tea has been highly regarded for centuries, specifically by shoguns! For generations, Honyama tea was an offering to the shogunate. Savor this special matcha worthy of a dignified gift. 30g tin (15 servings).
