Aoi Seicha Matcha – Yaeyama 30g Ceremonial-Grade Japanese Matcha Powder
Yaeyama is a high-grade ceremonial matcha by Aoi Seicha, crafted for those who seek a richer, more expressive bowl of tea. Harvested and stone-milled in the historic tea-growing region of Nishio, Aichi Prefecture, this matcha is celebrated for its full-bodied umami, creamy texture, and depth of character—making it a standout for both usucha (thin tea) and koicha (thick tea) preparation.
Flavour Profile
Yaeyama delivers a robust and smooth umami with low astringency and a lingering natural sweetness. Expect velvety notes of cooked greens, toasted nuts, and a subtle hint of cocoa. Its complexity unfolds gradually on the palate, making it especially rewarding when whisked as koicha.
Aroma
Grassy and nutty on the nose, the aroma develops into a warm, savoury bouquet once whisked—reminiscent of fresh steamed vegetables with a sweet undertone.
Texture & Preparation
Stone-milled to ceremonial fineness, Yaeyama whisks into a luxuriously dense crema. Its fine particle size creates a silky texture that makes each sip smooth and satisfying.
Perfect For:
Traditional tea ceremony (especially koicha)
Daily rituals with a premium matcha
Mindful moments or meditation
Connoisseurs seeking layered flavour
Origin:
Nishio, Aichi Prefecture – home to some of Japan’s finest tencha for over 800 years.
