Iwai no Shiro Matcha 40g Tin by Kitagawa Hanbee Shoten – Premium Ceremonial Grade Kyoto Uji Matcha | Celebration & Tea Ceremony

✨ Hoshi no Tsuyu Matcha by Hoshino Seichaen – Premium Yame Matcha (50g Tin)

“Hoshi no Tsuyu” is an exquisite ceremonial-grade matcha produced by Hoshino Seichaen, a highly acclaimed tea estate located in Yame, Fukuoka—Japan’s premier region for high-quality shaded teas.  

Crafted from carefully selected Yame tea leaves and traditionally stone-milled, this matcha is celebrated for its luxurious sweetness (Amami) and deep, robust umami. Produced by the masters of Yame tea, it offers a rich and velvety flavor profile that stands out from typical Uji matcha.  

☀️ What Is Hoshi no Tsuyu Matcha?

“Hoshi no Tsuyu” (meaning "Dew of the Stars") embodies the misty, nutrient-rich terroir of the Hoshino region. Unlike lighter blends, Yame matcha is known for its:

• Intense, Buttery Umami: A signature of Yame’s traditional shading techniques.

• Exceptional Sweetness: Very low bitterness with a rich, mellow finish.  

• Vibrant Emerald Color: A deep green hue that indicates its premium ceremonial quality.

This balance makes it perfect for those who seek a bold yet smooth matcha experience.
