Sencha - Arazukuri Yame Premium (100 g)
A powerful, deep-steamed green tea from Yame – intense, full-bodied, and exceptionally aromatic.
1. The first harvest of the year, powerfully interpreted
The Arazukuri Yame Premium is made from the first spring harvest – that special time when the tea plant, after winter, puts all its energy into the young leaves.
Unlike classic Shincha, this tea is processed as Fukamushi Sencha (deep-steamed green tea).
Due to the more intensive steaming, the leaf structures open more – allowing the flavor and ingredients to fully develop.
Its origin from the renowned Yame region also gives it depth and character.
The aroma is intensely green and slightly sweet.
The taste: strong, full-bodied, yet soft – with a pleasant depth that lingers long.
A tea that combines the freshness of spring with an unusual intensity.
2. Flavor Profile
Aroma: intensely green, slightly sweet, with vegetable depth
Taste: full-bodied, strong, with pronounced umami
Texture: dense, soft, and slightly creamy due to deep steaming
Finish: long-lasting, harmonious, and pleasantly rounded
Typical for Fukamushi teas, this Arazukuri shows a particularly rich cup with much body and depth.
3. Origin – Yame, Japan
Fukuoka Prefecture is located in the north of Kyushu island and is considered one of Japan's most traditional regions for high-quality tea cultivation.
The Yame area is particularly known for:
✔ nutrient-rich soils
✔ foggy valleys
✔ clear mountain rivers
✔ optimal conditions for aromatic green teas
Yame stands internationally for quality and character – especially for intense, umami-rich teas like Sencha and Gyokuro.
This Arazukuri combines this origin with a particularly expressive processing.
