Nami Matcha Japanese Matcha Powder — First Harvest Yame 30g Tin, Single-Origin Smooth & Sweet

Nami Matcha First Harvest from Yame is a premium, single-origin Japanese green tea powder made from early spring, shade-grown leaves for a smooth, vibrant cup.

Harvested in Yame, Fukuoka—one of Japan’s most respected tea regions—this 30g tin contains finely milled matcha made from Okumidori and Saemidori cultivars. The leaves are taken from the season’s first flush, giving the powder a fresh green color, a naturally sweet finish, and minimal astringency. Packaged without additives and sealed in a resealable tin, this matcha is suitable for traditional whisking, modern lattes, or culinary uses where clean green tea flavor matters.

What makes first-harvest Yame matcha different from other powders?

First-harvest matcha (ichibancha) comes from the earliest spring leaves, which develop concentrated flavor after winter dormancy. Yame’s terroir—humidity, soil, and shade practices—produces leaves with vivid color and a refined aroma. The result is a balanced profile with delicate sweetness and low bitterness, ideal for both ceremonial preparation and everyday enjoyment.

• Harvested in early spring for concentrated flavor and color
• Shade-grown to enhance amino acids and smoothness
• Single-origin from Yame ensures consistent regional character
• Blend of Okumidori and Saemidori cultivars for balanced taste

How should I prepare Nami Matcha for the best flavor?

For a traditional bowl, sift 1–2 grams of matcha into a warmed bowl, add 60–80 ml of 70–80°C water, and whisk in a brisk M-shaped motion until frothy. For a latte, dissolve the matcha in a small amount of warm water before adding steamed milk or a plant-based alternative. Adjust powder and water ratios to taste—less powder for subtle green notes, more for a fuller, savory experience.

• Traditional: 1–2 g matcha + 60–80 ml 70–80°C water, whisk to froth
• Latte: dissolve matcha in warm water, add 150–200 ml steamed milk
• Culinary: increase grams for baking, smoothies, or sauces
• Store in a cool, dark place; reseal tin after each use
