Yame no Mukashi Ceremonial Matcha

Yame no Mukashi from Wakokoro Tea is a ceremonial matcha powder from Yame, a region renowned for matcha with deep umami and natural sweetness. The flavour is full-bodied and mellow, with little bitterness, making this matcha suitable for both usucha (thin matcha) and koicha (thick matcha).

Made from carefully selected tea leaves, this matcha offers a balanced flavour profile with depth and clarity. Compared to lighter matchas, Yame no Mukashi has a fuller body and more pronounced umami, whilst the finish remains smooth and approachable.

The flavour profile is consistent and well-rounded, making it suitable for traditional preparation and for those seeking a higher-quality matcha with greater depth.

Store your matcha in an airtight, opaque container and keep it in the fridge to preserve its vibrant colour and rich umami flavour. To prevent condensation, which can affect the quality, always allow the cold container to come to room temperature for 15 minutes before opening. For optimal freshness, it is best to consume the matcha within 1 to 2 months of opening.
