Our main selection is sourced from a family farm in Yame, Fukuoka Prefecture, Japan.

Yame Matcha is smooth, rich in umami, and not very bitter, with a slight chocolate note. Yame Hojicha is roasted, well-rounded, with notes of hazelnut and caramel. Two very different profiles from the same region.

Choose Yame Matcha if you're looking for a fresh, sweet, and umami-rich profile that's pleasant with water or as a latte. Choose Yame Hojicha if you prefer roasted, round, nutty, and caramel notes. If you're undecided, the Duo allows you to compare both profiles side by side.

Yes. Its smooth, umami-rich, and low-bitterness profile allows it to be drunk with water, while remaining present enough for a latte.

Matcha naturally has a vegetal character and can be somewhat bitter. However, a very aggressive bitterness can stem from the product itself, its storage, the dosage, or water that is too hot. Our Yame Matcha is selected for a smooth profile with controlled bitterness.

We prefer a few clearly explained references rather than a succession of grades that are difficult to compare. Each tea is presented according to its origin, taste profile, and actual use to make the choice simpler.

Start with 1.5-2g for 60-80ml of water. About 2g is a simple base that you can then adjust depending on the cup size and desired intensity.

For matcha, aim for around 70 to 80 °C to preserve a smooth and balanced profile.

About 2 to 2.5 g of matcha with 30 to 40 ml of water, then 150 to 180 ml of milk is a good starting point.

Disperse the powder in a small amount of hot water until a homogeneous texture is obtained, then add hot or cold milk. Adjust the amount of powder according to the desired volume and intensity.

Keep the packaging tightly closed, away from heat, light, air, and humidity. For professional storage, Maison Yume recommends keeping it between -5 and 5 °C. After very cold storage, allow the sealed package to gradually return to room temperature before opening to limit condensation.
