STORAGE: Store your tea in an airtight canister and seal tightly between uses. Once opened, store in a cool dry place or keep refrigerated.
YAME NO HANA FLAVOUR PROFILE
Yame no Hana has an immediately distinctive aroma: deep, fragrant, and unmistakably nutty. When enjoyed straight with hot water, its complex yet balanced profile shines through: a roasted and umami opening quickly melts into a sweet, vegetal, slightly astringent finish.
When paired with milk, notes of toasted rice and roasted nuts gain prominence, while its vegetal notes and astringency are less pronounced, making for a smooth yet boldly umami latte.
Despite its intensity of flavour, Yame no Hana is smooth and nuanced. A delicious matcha that often becomes an immediate favourite for those who try it.
Hoshino Seicha-en
Hoshino Seicha-en is located in the celebrated Yame region of Fukuoka Prefecture. Nestled between the Minou Mountains in Hoshino Village, the landscape offers an environment uniquely suited to the cultivation of exceptional tea. Elevated terrain, frequent mists, and a natural rhythm of warm days and cool nights, together with mineral-rich soil and pure mountain water, encourage the leaves to grow slowly and develop remarkable depth of aroma and flavor. Here, Hoshino Seicha-en continues that legacy as a locally owned producer, working in close collaboration with nearly two hundred neighboring farms to cultivate and refine award-winning green teas. The teas of Yame are distinguished by their layered character, offering a balance of sweetness, depth, and a pronounced savory umami.
