Description 2026 harvest Carefully selected by Tea Master Kiya san, this single-origin, first-flush white tea leaves an unforgettable impression with its powerful umami and sweetne ss, with no hint of bitterness or astringency.We recommend letting the water cool down to 60C before pouring over the leaves to enjoy its incredible flavour balance and its silken round texture that will linger in your mouth for a long time. With its high levels of caffeine, it is a tea more suitable for an exceptional morning start.Don’t hesitate to brew it three or four times in a row, and like with gyokuro, dress up its pale green and golden leaves with salt or ponzu dressing for a delicious and healthy snack afterwards.Like our two other white teas from Yame, SAYAKA is a wonderful experience for green tea lovers. Also called ‘natural gyokuro’ by tea professionals, it is the perfect introduction to the taste and flavour world of gyokuro. Show more
