🏆 Gold Prize – Japanese Tea Selection Paris 2025
“Yame no Mukashi” was awarded the Gold Prize at Japanese Tea Selection Paris 2025, a recognition by international tea professionals for its outstanding quality, refined balance, and profound umami.
Crafted from 100% Yame-grown tencha, this premium matcha is suitable for both koicha (thick tea) and usucha (thin tea). Despite its accessible pricing, it offers true koicha-grade depth and elegance.

A gentle nutty aroma adds complexity, creating a refined and well-rounded cup. Its mellow and elegant profile will appeal to those who appreciate high-grade Yame matcha with depth and balance.
