Shinsha Yame Supreme

The freshest expression of Japanese tea art – from the famous premium region of Yame.

1. The first harvest of the year, captured in a cup

The Shinsha Yame Supreme is a tea that is produced only once a year – at the moment of the very first spring harvest.

When the young leaves awaken from their winter slumber, they develop a sweetness and delicacy that no other tea can achieve.

The aroma is fresh, vibrant, and intensely green, like a walk on a clear morning in the mountains of Kyushu.

The taste: deep umami, creamy sweetness, delicate green tea notes, and a silky-smooth mouthfeel.

A Shinsha that carries the soul of the new year – pure, clear, and unforgettable.

 

2. Flavor Profile

• Aroma: sweet-green, slightly fruity, with a fresh-floral nuance

• Taste: full-bodied, subtly umami, creamy yet light

• Texture: silky, rounded, and harmonious

• Finish: sweet, long-lasting, clean, and deep

This tea displays the typical elegance and richness for which Yame is famous.

 

3. Origin – Yame, Kyushu

The area in the south of Kyushu Island is characterized by:

✔ nutrient-rich valleys with layers of mist

For decades, the Yame region has produced teas that regularly win national competitions – particularly top-class Gyokuro and Shincha.
