This one is built principally on \u003cstrong\u003eOkumidori\u003c\/strong\u003e, a cultivar that holds an unusual depth of colour in the leaf and mills into a green so saturated that Japanese pâtissiers seek it out specifically. Hoshino Seichaen make it for both worlds at once: a bowl good enough for the tea room, and a powder strong enough to carry a dessert without disappearing into the cream.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp dir=\"ltr\"\u003eThat double life suits it. This is the tin that ends up open on the counter — a bowl in the morning, a spoonful into a cake in the afternoon, and by the end of the week you have learned what Yame tastes like without ever sitting down for a lesson.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp dir=\"ltr\"\u003e\u003cem\u003eA note from us:\u003c\/em\u003e stone-milled matcha this fine will clump in a bag.

Their matcha is made by applying the traditional \u003cem\u003ehon-gyokuro\u003c\/em\u003e cultivation method that made this village Japan's most celebrated gyokuro region. The garden is led by Yamaguchi Shinya, who at thirty-two became the youngest person ever certified as a \u003cem\u003echa-shi jūdan\u003c\/em\u003e, a tenth-dan tea master — a rank held by fewer than twenty people in the country.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Japan Tea House","offers":[{"title":"20g Bag","offer_id":48308101120187,"sku":null,"price":49.9,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0665\/6969\/9515\/files\/HoshinoSeichaen-YamenoHana.png?v=1788095411","url":"https:\/\/japanteahouse.com\/products\/hoshino-seichaen-yame-no-hana","provider":"Japan Tea House","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
