Kuriharaen - Yame Matcha

Kuriharaen is a family run Japanese tea specialist with over 65 years of experience, based in Fukuoka. Renowned for its carefully selected Yame teas, the company is dedicated to sharing authentic Japanese tea culture through exceptional quality, expert craftsmanship and a passion for traditional brewing. 

Freshly harvested tea leaves bring a vibrant aroma, complemented by a gentle roasted note. Balanced sweetness and rich umami create a smooth, authentic matcha experience.

One of the defining characteristics of many Yame matcha is the gentle roasted aroma, which creates subtle nutty and toasted notes not as commonly found in Uji matcha. This is the result of Yame's traditional finishing process and is one of the reasons the region has such a distinctive identity.
