We Are From Yame.
Discover the essence of Japanese tea with our curated collection
Where is Yame?
Yame is located in the southern part of Fukuoka Prefecture on the island of Kyushu, Japan. It lies in the lush Chikugo region of the prefecture, where mist-covered rivers and gentle hills create an ideal microclimate for tea cultivation. Yame is also known for its historical buildings and beautiful natural landscapes, offering a serene charm to its visitors.
Why is Yame Tea ("Yame Cha", or "八女茶") So Good?
Blessed with abundant nature, its fertile soil and moderately mountain-shaded climate are particularly suited for cultivating high-quality tea. Yame Cha, a variety of green tea produced in this region, is highly esteemed both domestically and internationally. The area combines traditional tea-making techniques with modern technology to produce tea with unique floavors and rich aromas.

The Yame Difference - Three Signature Secrets
From cloud-kissed mountain gardens to soil-pure cultivation and artisan withering, each cup reveals a rare harmony only Yame Cha can offer.
Mountain-Mist Origins
Our leaves come straight from a small, family-run garden tucked 600 meters up in Yame's mountain foothills, where cool mists and sharp day-night temperature shifts concentrate aroma.
Pure Earch, Pure Leaf
Grown entirely without synthetic pesticides, the tea lets the soil's natural vitality shine through, delivering a clean yet powerfully eathy cup.
Whisper-Withered Elegance
In addition to classic sencha, we carry a seldom-seen "withered sencha": the leaves are lightly wilted before firing, allowing gentle enzymatic oxidation - far miler than black tea - to coax out soft floral notes and a rounded, mellow finish unlike any ordinary sencha.
