Best Before: 8 Nov 2026
Ayame is a culinary matcha, lively and vibrant with a clear vegetal profile and refreshing edge. It opens with fresh, grassy notes, followed by a purposeful bitterness that gives it structure and lift. A gentle sweetness sits underneath, keeping the cup balanced rather than harsh.
When paired with milk, its flavour remains present and defined, making it especially reliable for cafés looking for a matcha that won’t disappear once diluted. Its bright colour and clean finish also make it well suited to culinary use.
