Our Yame tea garden has received numerous global awards for the excellence of its products for years, and is ISO 22000 and JAS certified.
This tea won the gold medal at the World Green Tea Award 2010. From a cultivar with golden buds found only in the Yame region, the name of this tea means "white tea" in Japanese; attributed by the whitish color of its leaves. Highly renowned, this tea, which has already won global awards, is of incomparable quality. However, it is a first-flush Sencha green tea variety whose leaves have been meticulously hand-processed.
When brewed, its greenish-yellow liquor is dense like a juice, full of theine and nutrients. Smooth on the palate and without astringency, it has rich notes of citrus and buttery Umami. A grand cru to try!
