Description: Yame no Tsuki (八女の月) is a rare powdered gyokuro from Yame, Fukuoka. Ground like matcha but made from gyokuro leaves, it reaches a depth of sweetness and umami that ordinary matcha rarely touches. Expect an exceptionally rich umami with a striking natural sweetness, virtually no bitterness, and a very fine powder that whisks into a smooth, full-bodied bowl. Enjoy it exactly as you would matcha — as Usucha, Koicha, or an indulgent latte. Note: Strictly speaking, this is a gyokuro powder rather than matcha. It can be prepared and enjoyed in exactly the same way as matcha. Origin: Yame, Fukuoka | Grade: Signature Ceremonial | Cultivar: Yabukita, Saemidori, Tsuyuhikari | Harvest: 1st Harvest | Supply: ~100 kg/month Recommended for Usucha and Koicha. Available as a 30g sample and in 1kg wholesale bags.
