Ceremonial Yame Matcha
Description
Stone-milled by Koga san, the leaves of this lively single-cultivar ceremonial matcha from Hoshino, Yame are plucked during the first harvest of the year, in May. Balanced and umami-rich, a vibrant emerald matcha with grassy and hazelnut notes and a sweet and toasty finish.
The velvety texture and fragrance of this refreshing matcha are highly enjoyable. The soft astringency, so typical of the Yabukita cultivar, and gently balanced by its rich umami.
Coming in 30g in a beautiful can, this is an exceptional Yame matcha for connoisseurs.
