Yame, Fukuoka · Japan
Recommended starter
The Starter Kit pairs Surrender—our smooth Yame matcha made for creamy dairy or oat lattes—with the bamboo whisk you need to make it properly.
Why Yame? Uji introduced many people to matcha. Yame is a different tea tradition in southern Fukuoka—quieter, deeply respected in Japan, and the origin we chose for rounded depth, gentle sweetness and a balanced finish.
A tea story dating to 1423
Tea cultivation in Yame began in the early fifteenth century. Over generations, the region built a reputation for carefully made green tea and is especially renowned in Japan for refined shaded teas, including gyokuro.
Southern Fukuoka
Yame's tea districts sit among misty hills with generous rainfall, fertile soils and a meaningful difference between warm days and cool nights. These are conditions long associated with the region's deep, composed tea character.
Yame and Uji
Uji is one of matcha's historic heartlands and deserves that reputation. Yame offers another expression of Japanese tea. We do not describe one as better; we chose Yame because the teas we tasted gave us the rounded body, gentle sweetness and balanced finish we wanted for TAE.
What that means in your cup
Chosen for the cup, not just the postcode. Origin matters, but harvest and preparation matter too. That is why every TAE has a clear purpose rather than one generic claim for the entire range.
Everything you need to start: a 30g tin of Surrender, our smooth Yame matcha selected for creamy dairy or oat lattes, with a bamboo whisk included free through 11 September.
