Compare and contrast our Organic Usucha and Organic Koicha. The Organic Usucha is a single-cultivar matcha, made of Yutaka-midori leaves, whereas the Organic Koicha is made of Yabukita, Okumidori, and Yutaka-midori leaves.
This comparison set can give you a good sense of what single cultivar matcha can be like when compared to blended matcha. It can also can give you a sense of the differences between usucha grade and koicha grade matcha. While the designations "usucha" and "koicha" are mostly subjective, we felt that these matcha fit well into their respective categories.
Variances in weather, terrain, cultivars, etc. make up the differences between these two teas. We hope that you'll be able to parse out the differences between them and enjoy the idiosyncrasies of both!
