Yame Matcha – Ume is an excellent culinary-grade matcha for large-scale use in cafés, bakeries, and home kitchens. This 500g commercial pack is perfect for those who use matcha frequently—for iced lattes, smoothies, baked goods, or other blended beverages.
At ODAYA’s offline stores, this grade of matcha is also used to make some of our most popular in-house matcha desserts. Its slightly bold, bitter profile balances beautifully when combined with dairy or sweetness, making it ideal for creating crowd-pleasing treats.
Harvested later in the season from the lower parts of the tea plant and primarily machine-picked, Ume offers a deep green colour and a bold, slightly bitter taste. Its strong flavour holds up especially well when combined with milk, sugar, or other ingredients, making it a great option for matcha recipes that require intensity and body.
