This matcha is our flagship matcha (also known as Ceremonial Matcha Uji). It is made of two cultivars: Yabukita, known for its robust profile and Gokou, which is known for its richness. This tea offers a little more complexity than last year’s CMU and is recommended to be consumed either by itself or in a very decadent latte.
Origin: Uji, Kagoshima
Harvest: First Flush
Cultivar: Gokou, Yabukita
Tasting Profile
There is some initial bitterness that starts to dissolve into a bready flavor and pillowy mouthfeel. We found that the bitterness and sweetness balanced each other, leaving us feeling refreshed and slightly grounded.
