Uji matcha from Kanbayashi Shunsho for making usucha or matcha drinks
Entry-level ceremonial matcha blend from Kanbayashi Shunsho, an Uji tea producer.
Ceremonially prepared, this matcha has a very delicate, mellow matcha flavor with no astringency. It's fragrant and has a nice green color.
In lattes, the green tea flavor doesn't come out very strongly because of this very delicacy, but it provides a beautiful green color.
We recommend this tea for those who are beginners at ceremonial matcha; it is very tolerant of different water temperatures or different preparation ratios.
A great value for money.
