by Aoi Seicha葵製茶
八重山 (Yaeyama) is Aoi Seicha's entry-tier ceremonial usucha — an affordable, refreshing thin matcha designed for everyday tea practice sessions. Shaded four weeks before spring harvest, it balances umami and astringency with a vivid jade color and fresh grassy aroma. AOI's sommeliers score it 2/5 for umami, sweetness, and bitterness — making it a harmonious, approachable daily drinker from one of Nishio's most certified producers.
