High grade matcha tea from Yamamasa Koyamaen
Koicha (thick tea) grade Uji matcha.
Origin: Kyoto Prefecture, Japan
A full-bodied, characteristic, intensively robust, velvety soft koicha with an exceptionally long aftertaste which first reveals a range of chocolate and coffee aromas, followed by sweet, creamy notes, finishing in light, floral notes. An exciting, particularly rich koicha tea with a long finish. Although preferably made as a thick tea, when consumed as a thin tea (usucha), we recommend making it thinner than usual (70 ml 80°C water for 1.5 g of tea), otherwise it may be bitter and tart in flavour. However, when made as a thinner tea, it results in a mild, creamy sweet usucha tea rich in umami, with a delicious aftertaste.
The meaning of Kaguraden "神楽殿" :
"Kagura" is a type of ceremonial music and dance from the Shinto religion. "Kaguraden" is a hall where such music, ceremonies, and prayers are held.
