Plus, the short daytime and number of hours that the leaves are exposed to the sun, is precisely how Honyama tea gets its high amino acid content and thicker taste due to the slowed-down growing speed of the leaves.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Honyama tea is produced from the <strong>Yabukita cultivar<\/strong>. The flavor profile of this cultivar is one with a <strong>strong umami<\/strong> and <strong>refreshing aftertaste<\/strong>. This is also how Honyama tea leaves have a <strong>natural sweetness<\/strong> in its aroma, umami and leaves behind a <strong>sakura-like after-taste flavor<\/strong> to those that drink it. And for consumers in Japan, this particular taste is usually described as familiar or nostalgic.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Let\u2019s take a look at the variety of Honyama matcha that we offer on our platform.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-columns is-layout-flex wp-container-core-columns-layout-1 wp-block-columns-is-layout-flex\">\n<div class=\"wp-block-column is-layout-flow wp-block-column-is-layout-flow\"><div class=\"wp-block-image\">\n<figure class=\"aligncenter size-full\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"1080\" height=\"1080\" src=\"https:\/\/img.secai-marche.com\/static\/owned_media\/uploads\/2024\/04\/Honyama-No-3.jpg\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-1072\" style=\"aspect-ratio:1;object-fit:cover\"\/><figcaption class=\"wp-element-caption\"><br><strong>Honyama No. 3<\/strong><br>Well balanced between bitterness and umami, suitable for barista and baking use.<\/figcaption><\/figure><\/div><\/div>\n\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-column is-layout-flow wp-block-column-is-layout-flow\"><div class=\"wp-block-image\">\n<figure class=\"aligncenter size-full\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"1080\" height=\"1080\" src=\"https:\/\/img.secai-marche.com\/static\/owned_media\/uploads\/2024\/04\/Honyama-No-6.jpg\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-1073\" style=\"aspect-ratio:1;object-fit:cover\"\/><figcaption class=\"wp-element-caption\"><br><strong>Honyama No.6<\/strong><br>Brighter green, rich aroma, higher umami.
