THE MAISON YUME DIFFERENCE
Not a battle of superlatives: concrete criteria to understand what really changes in the cup and in the sourcing.
ORIGIN
Yame, Fukuoka. A precise origin and direct sourcing from a family farm.
Origin can sometimes be limited to “Japan”, with less context about provenance.
TRACEABILITY
Short supply chain and presence in Japan. Origin and documentation stay connected to the product.
The level of traceability varies depending on brands, suppliers and intermediaries.
TASTE
Smoothness, umami, low bitterness. The sensory profile is explained before marketing labels.
A grade or designation alone does not guarantee the profile you will actually taste in the cup.
STANDARDS
JAS Organic and documentation linked to FSSC 22000 standards for professional use.
Available certifications and documentation levels vary by supplier.
USE
The product is selected according to use. Straight, latte, iced or creative recipes: we start from the desired result.
The same reference may be sold as a universal solution even though different uses call for different profiles.
SUPPORT
Maison Yume PRO. Dosage, preparation, storage, product selection, documentation and professional projects.
After-purchase support varies greatly depending on the brand or distributor.

AT THE SOURCE
Yame is part of the product. It’s not just a decoration.
Our main references come from a family farm in Yame, Fukuoka Prefecture. Working close to the source allows us to keep the tea's origin, production context, selection, and documentation attached to it.
Understanding our sourcing
IN THE FIELDS
An ongoing relationship, not a vague origin.
Maison Yume favours a short and clear supply chain with a family farm in Yame, so that the origin and traceability remain transparent.
Our Story
IN THE CUP
The result should be palpable.
Matcha offers sweetness and umami with little bitterness and a slight chocolate note. Hojicha provides a roasted profile with notes of hazelnut and caramel.

Professional spacePROFESSIONAL FEEDBACK
A matcha I love working with in pastry! 💚
As a pastry chef, I’m particularly demanding when it comes to the quality of the ingredients I use. This matcha really won me over: a pleasant, distinctive flavour, a refined mouthfeel, and above all an exceptional green colour.
In my pastries, it brings both a real flavour identity and a beautiful natural colour. The result is as delicious as it is visually striking!
It has become a product I especially enjoy using in my creations. I highly recommend it to pastry professionals as well as matcha lovers. 🍵💚

Leila · Fine Pastries
We are genuinely happy with the quality of the matcha. We even had a customer in her 50s who came in for her very first matcha and chose to drink it plain (the concentrate: matcha + water mixed with milk, without syrup or sugar). She really liked it. She was hesitant because she had heard that matcha was bitter. But she really enjoyed her first cup and didn’t want to add any syrup or sugar ☺️.
