Yame-cha

Yame cha - deeply rooted, perfect in taste

Welcome to a piece of tea history that you can taste: Yame-cha comes from the traditional district of Yame on Kyushu - that green, weather-spoiled island in southern Japan where tea has thrived for centuries. If you are interested in the origins of your food and like to dig deeper, this tea will fascinate you. Because its story does not begin on plantations, but in quiet temple courtyards.

In the 13th century, a disciple of the Zen monk Eisai - one of the pioneers of Japanese tea - brought precious tea seeds from China to the region and planted them near the Reigenji Temple in Fukuoka. From this humble gesture grew a culture that has endured to this day. Today, yame-cha is considered one of the most expressive green teas in Japan - characterized by mineral-rich soil, wafts of mist and the care of experienced tea masters.

Character: complex, velvety, sweet

The esteemed depth of yame cha is revealed from the very first infusion: an intense, full-bodied taste with a distinctive sweetness, finely integrated umami and a hint of roasted chestnut leaf - a tea indulgence full of seriousness and depth. Particularly exciting: the rich color of the infusion and how its taste changes over several infusions.

Are you interested in the health effects of tea, regional flavors or the subtle nuances of Asian cultivation? Then yame cha is more than just a cup of green tea - it is an object of study, a bridge to the past and an energetic ritual all at the same time.
