Tasteful premium matcha for making usucha (thin tea)
Myouju is a robust, full-bodied, velvety tea with deep tones. It offers a long, slightly creamy finish with mellow bitter notes. It’s a great choice for those who love the rich flavors of characteristic usucha teas. It is important to brew this tea with water of at least 80 degrees Celsius, as it can easily turn bitter upon cooling. It is a more full-bodied, sweeter tea compared to the Koushu, next in line.
The meaning of Myouju "妙寿" :
The first character of “myouju” is a wide-ranging & nuanced one with meanings of exquisiteness, miraculousness, delicateness, and even charm.
The tea maker has given this tea its name with a feeling of total happiness.

STEP 1) Put 2g (0.4 US tsp, 1 teaspoon or 2 chashaku scoop) matcha powder into a suitable tea bowl.
STEP 2) Pour 70 ml (2.4 fl oz) 80℃ (176°F) water over the matcha powder.
STEP 3) Whisk with a chasen (tea whisk) until foamy.
❖ Before Step 1, warm up the tea bowl with hot water, then dry it with a cloth to create the perfect temperature so make the most delicious matcha with a fresh scent while preparing. (Optional)
❖ To prevent clotting of the matcha powder, sift it through a fine strainer before use. (Strongly recommended)
❖ After the matcha is done, drink it immediately, because as it cools down it gets more and more bitter. (Recommended)
❖ Freshness is the most important thing for the enjoyment of Matcha. It is best to use up the tea within one month of opening. (Strongly recommended)
EXTRA TIP
❖ Try iced matcha: pour the finished matcha over ice.
