Our Yame Matcha from Japan | Premium Japanese Matcha

At Nagomi no Zen, we are delighted to share our premium Yame matcha from Fukuoka, Japan — a region renowned for producing some of Japan’s finest green teas. Carefully cultivated and crafted by an award-winning tea producer, this authentic Japanese matcha reflects generations of tradition, craftsmanship, and a deep respect for the art of tea.

Our Matcha from Yame, Fukuoka

Our matcha comes from Yame, Fukuoka — one of Japan’s most celebrated regions for premium green tea, known for producing matcha with exceptional sweetness, depth, and elegance. Yame, Fukuoka, is located on Japan's southernmost main island, Kyushu.

For Masami, who was born and raised in Fukuoka, Yame tea has always carried a special sense of familiarity and pride. It represents not only craftsmanship, but also memories of everyday life in Japan — moments shared quietly over tea.

At Nagomi no Zen, we wanted to share a matcha that reflects both authentic Japanese tea culture and the calming spirit we hope to bring into everyday life.

A Smooth and Elegant Taste

This matcha offers a rich umami, gentle natural sweetness, and a silky smooth texture — hallmarks of high-quality Yame matcha.

Carefully cultivated from shade-grown tea leaves and slowly ground into fine powder, it develops a creamy and well-balanced character with remarkably low bitterness and a soft, lingering finish.

Its vibrant jade-green color reflects the great care taken throughout every stage of cultivation and production.

A Matcha for Every Moment

While refined enough to be enjoyed in a more traditional ceremonial style, its smooth body and beautiful balance also make it perfect for modern enjoyment — from matcha lattes to desserts and creative culinary experiences.

Whether prepared quietly in the morning or shared with friends during a slow afternoon, we hope this matcha can bring a small sense of calm and presence into your day.

Crafted by an Award-Winning Japanese Tea Producer

Our matcha is cultivated and produced by the Hirai brothers and their team in Yame, Japan.

Working closely with local tea growers, they are deeply committed to preserving authentic Japanese tea craftsmanship while continuously refining cultivation and production methods to achieve exceptional quality.

Their dedication has been recognized nationally through some of Japan’s most prestigious tea and agricultural awards, including:

* The Emperor’s Cup at Japan’s National Agriculture, Forestry and Fisheries Festival

* The Minister of Agriculture, Forestry and Fisheries Award at the National Agricultural Competition

From Tea Field to Final Package

One aspect we especially value is the producer’s integrated approach to quality and traceability.

From their own tea fields to the final packaging process, every step is carefully managed in-house — from cultivation and harvesting to grinding and packaging.

This careful process helps ensure not only exceptional flavor, but also consistency, safety, and transparency.

Experience the Quiet Beauty of Japanese Matcha

At Nagomi no Zen, we feel honored to share matcha sourced directly from this award-winning producer with our community here in Denmark and beyond.

More than simply offering tea, we hope to create moments where people can slow down, reconnect, and experience a quieter rhythm in everyday life.

Thank you, as always, for being part of this journey with us.

Warm regards,

Masami & Jeanette
