Matcha Velvet 7 "Tsuyu Hikari"

八女抹茶 "つゆひかり"

Origin
Yame, Fukuoka

“Matcha Velvet 7” is a new, exclusive line of single origin, single cultivar shincha (new harvest) matcha from Yame, Fukuoka. This series is a rare opportunity to taste matcha from the famous Yame region in its most pristine state: freshly harvested, direct from the grower, and unblended. 

The airiest matcha in the Velvet 7 series, this one lands like a fairy. It is a vibrant, chlorophyll rich green and brings an oxygenated clarity and freshness with it. You’ll taste sugar crystals in this matcha, before it finishes with a bright, pleasing astringency. 

Smell: chlorophyll, macadamia
Colour: conifer green
Taste: clean, airy, sugar crystal, electric finish

. . .

Yame is known around the world for producing some of the highest quality matcha, and its teas are appreciated for their unique, rich and very satisfying mouthfeel. This series allows us to dive deeper into the incredible degree of variation there is within tea from this small, but mighty, region. 

We will be receiving a few kilograms of 7 single cultivar matcha directly from the producer, as they are harvested. In the spirit of true shincha, we will release them in batches as they arrive.
