JAS qualified, organically cultivated matcha for making thin tea (usucha)
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 your tea bowl. (Optional) Pour hot water in it, then discard all the water and wipe the bowl dry with a cloth. During whisking a cold tea bowl might cool the water down too quickly, which could turn the matcha bitter.
❖ Sift your matcha powder. (Strongly recommended) Matcha clots easily in hot water. To prevent this, sift the powder through a fine strainer.
❖ When your matcha is ready, drink it immediately, because as it cools down it might turn bitter. (Recommended)
❖ Matcha is best fresh. Consume it within a month after opening. (Strongly recommended)
EXTRA TIP
❖ Try iced matcha: pour the prepared matcha over ice.

I wanted to try an organic matcha and this was a good entry one. I find the taste is very neutral and no bitterness so it's easy to make it into usucha or turn it into a latte with some milk even.

the 2017 harvest seems to have more umami than I remember from other years. It also seems less bitter more balanced and overall better. Great vintage year for this matcha and I hope 2018 is as good. It should be at harvest now.

Great everyday Matcha. Nice balance of umami and sweet vegetal notes. I find it to be one of the best values available for the quality. This will be my daily Matcha. I also appreciate the very fast shipping.

probably the best value of all Marukyu Koyamaen matchas. Nice balance with a good amount of umami and only slight bitterness. I prefer to make this at lower than regular temperature to bring out more umami and less bitterness. Made this way it tastes higher end than it is. this is my go to matcha for every day.

A good everyday matcha. All marukyu koyamaen matchas have an amazing scent. This matcha has a good balance of umami with some bitterness and is priced very well.
