Emptea Yame Premium Ceremonial Grade Matcha Green Tea Powder - First Harvest Stone-Milled Japanese Matcha | Creamy Umami & Nutty Flavor, 1.06oz (30g) Tin

• Yame Tea Master Blend: Crafted from vibrant first-harvest leaves grown in Yame, Fukuoka—one of Japan’s most celebrated tea regions. The misty mountain valleys and fertile soil create ideal conditions for producing tea rich in natural umami. Our trusted tea master partners carefully shade and nurture each leaf to achieve exceptional balance and depth of flavor.
• Smooth and Balanced Flavor: Careful shading before harvest enhances chlorophyll and L-theanine, giving this matcha its vibrant green color and rich umami depth with gentle sweetness.
• Flavor Profile: Rich umami with low astringency for a smooth, creamy, full-bodied taste. Its vivid color reveals a complex nutty aroma reminiscent of kinako, a roasted soy powder, and a touch of warm cinnamon.
• Versatility for Use: Perfect for both Usucha and Koicha in tea ceremony practice (keiko), this balanced matcha also shines in modern matcha lattes. Its naturally creamy, mellow flavor can be enjoyed straight or used in desserts and smoothies—hot or cold—for daily enjoyment.
• Gentler Energy and Focus: Matcha provides a smooth, sustained energy boost with caffeine, L-theanine, and EGCG, enhancing focus without jitters. Gentler on the stomach than coffee, it’s perfect for daily energy, focused work, and pre-workout.

Cultivated in the misty valleys of Yame, Fukuoka—renowned as one of Japan’s most prestigious tea regions—this premium ceremonial-grade matcha represents the pinnacle of craftsmanship. Made from the finest first harvest leaves, carefully shade-grown to enhance umami, and stone-milled into a silky powder, it embodies both tradition and refinement. Elegant and full-bodied, with deep umami, gentle sweetness, and remarkably low bitterness, this matcha delivers a naturally smooth character that makes Usucha especially rewarding—its latte-like creaminess can be savored even when prepared straight. Its exceptional quality also makes it suitable for the more formal Koicha style, while still pairing beautifully with milk for a modern matcha latte. Rich in L-theanine, caffeine, and EGCG, it provides calm, focused energy that is smoother on the body than coffee—an ideal companion for moments of mindfulness, artistic pursuits, or ceremonial gatherings. Each batch is meticulously stone-milled in small quantities, then sealed in an inner foil pouch and packed in a 1.06 oz (30g) tin, preserving its vibrant green color, delicate aroma, and exceptional freshness.
