Introducing Mafia Matcha Yame Saemidori - a single-origin ceremonial matcha from an award-winning Yame producer, Keito Ushijima, in Fukuoka. Selected for its naturally silky sweetness and ultra-clean finish, this first-harvest Saemidori is meticulously sorted and slow stone-milled to a superfine powder that whisks into dense, glossy crema with a luminous jade-green hue. Expect notes of vanilla and sweet pea over soft young-green umami, near-zero bitterness, and a finish that’s effortlessly smooth - a pure, elegant expression of Yame terroir and craft.
Tastes notes: sweet pea, young spinach and vanilla
Best for: straight whisking, lightly sweet iced/hot lattes

I first became interested in matcha from Yame after trying a sencha from this region, which I found broth-like, with a rich aroma and deep umami with no bitterness. This matcha is the precise embodiment of that experience. It is supremely easy to drink and works very well as an usucha, with sweetness and freshness that are allowed to come forward. It was worth the wait!
