Matcha: Yugen (Marukyu Koyamaen) - 40 g Tin

MARUKYU KOYAMAEN'S Yugen Matcha Tasting Notes: broccoli • asparagus • white bean Rich and creamy, this ceremonial grade matcha boasts deep vegetal flavors of steamed broccoli and asparagus rounded out with the silken texture of cooked white beans. A luscious sweet and savory experience reminiscent of Gyokuro. We source our matcha from Marukyu Koyamaen, a highly regarded tea grower, procurer, and tea blender whose private tea estate, located in the heart of Uji, Kyoto, has a rich history dating back to 1704. Koyamaen has strict quality control systems in place that target a wide variety of issues that can affect the quality, taste, and characteristics of their tea: Teas are kept fresh using a unique drying system that reduces moisture in the leaf to an incredibly low level which is verified by an infrared optical moisture meter. Since a vibrant color is essential to the matcha experience, a colorimeter is utilized to ensure that the matcha has a naturally vibrant hue. Finally, the particle size of the matcha is strictly controlled which ensures each particle is fine enough to deliver an easy-to-blend, smooth-tasting beverage. Ingredients: Camellia sinensis leaves. Caffeinated Origin: Uji, Japan PREPARATION: Sift 2 to 3 grams of powder into a bowl and whisk with 2 to 4 oz of 175°F water until frothy. 40 g Tin $50.00
