The distinction between "Supreme" and "Superior" green tea primarily revolves around quality, flavor complexity, cultivation methods, and processing techniques. These terms are often used by tea producers and sellers to indicate the grade and overall quality of the tea, with both aiming to signify levels of excellence above standard commercial grades. 

 Both Supreme and Superior green teas represent high-quality choices, the "Supreme" label is often reserved for the most exceptional teas with unmatched flavor complexity, rarity, and adherence to traditional cultivation and processing methods. "Superior" green tea, on the other hand, signifies a high level of quality that is more accessible and widely available, making it an excellent choice for everyday luxury.

🍵 Origin and Prestige: Yamecha comes from the Yame region of Fukuoka Prefecture, Japan, renowned for producing some of the country's finest green teas.

🍵 Supreme Quality: Known for its high-grade quality, Yamecha often wins national tea competitions in Japan, showcasing its supreme craftsmanship.

🍵 Distinct Flavor: Yame tea is celebrated for its deep, rich flavor, characterized by a perfect balance of sweetness (umami) and astringency.

🍵 Vibrant Color: The tea leaves produce a bright, vivid green color when brewed, a hallmark of its freshness and high chlorophyll content.

🍵 Aromatic Experience: Yamecha emits a delicate and inviting aroma, enhancing the tea-drinking experience with its floral and grassy notes.

🍵 Versatility in Brewing: Yamecha can be enjoyed in various forms, including Sencha, Gyokuro, and Matcha, offering a range of flavors and strengths to suit different preferences.

Instructions

  1. Preheat Your Teapot: Begin by pouring hot water into your teapot and cups to preheat them. This step is crucial for maintaining the water temperature during brewing. Discard the warming water before adding your tea leaves.

  2. Measure the Tea Leaves: A general guideline is to use about 2 grams of tea leaves for every 6 ounces (about 180 ml) of water. This equates to roughly 1 teaspoon of leaves per cup. However, you may adjust this ratio based on your personal taste preferences.

  3. Heat the Water: The ideal water temperature for brewing Yame supreme green tea is between 60°C to 70°C (140°F to 158°F). If you don’t have a thermometer, boil the water and let it cool for about 5 minutes to reach the desired temperature. The lower temperature is key to preventing bitterness and ensuring the delicate flavors and aromas are properly extracted.

  4. Brew the Tea: Place the tea leaves in the preheated teapot and gently pour the heated water over them. Cover the teapot with its lid to retain heat.

  5. Steep Time: Allow the tea to steep for 1 to 2 minutes. Supreme green tea, especially from Yame, is prized for its subtle flavors, which can be overshadowed by over-steeping.

  6. Serve: Pour the tea evenly into each cup, ensuring a consistent strength. If your teapot has a built-in strainer, pour through it; otherwise, use a separate tea strainer.

  7. Enjoy Multiple Infusions: Yame supreme green tea leaves are capable of multiple infusions, each offering a unique taste experience. For each subsequent infusion, slightly increase the water temperature and steeping time to extract the full range of flavors.
