MIYABI [雅]

Miyabi — refined elegance. The word Kyoto courtiers reserved for beauty without effort. 

Yame, in Fukuoka, grows less than 3% of Japan's tea — and wins a disproportionate share of its national awards. The region's slow mists and long shading build what tea masters prize above all: a thick, enveloping umami and a smoothness that coats the palate like silk. This is the leaf reserved for premium koicha, and the ceremonial first harvest behind signature matcha bars.

MIYABI opens with a fragrance that fills the room before the whisk stops moving. The umami is profound — dense, sweet, tide-like — and it lingers the way a struck bell does. The colour is a green that seems lit from within.

Profound aroma · thick, enveloping umami · smooth, silk-clean finish · a green lit from within

The details

Premium Ceremonial Grade · First Harvest | 一番茶 · 100% Stone-Ground · Yame, Fukuoka, Japan · 30g tin

Full-bodied enough for koicha, graceful as usucha. If you own one tin for the moments that matter, make it this one.
