Entry grade Usucha (thin tea) of Yamamasa Koyamaen
Uji matcha tea for making usucha (thin tea).
Origin: Kyoto Prefecture, Japan
A particularly light, pleasant mild usucha tea offering an experience of fresh, tender, green flavours together with a hint of astringency and a touch of creaminess. Use 80-85°C water to prepare the tea, as more astringent flavours start to dominate the tea at lower temperatures.

How to prepare
As 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.
As Koicha:
STEP 1) Put 4g (0.8 US tsp, 2 teaspoon or 4 chashaku scoop) matcha powder into a suitable tea bowl.
STEP 2) Pour 30 ml (1 fl oz) 80℃ (176°F) water over the matcha powder.
STEP 3) Gently knead with a chasen (tea whisk) until all lumps are gone.
❖ 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)

It was a "wow" experience to me. Its fresh and dark green, not as vivid. Smells like sweet and dry wheatspike. The taste was a surprise to me. Its like heavy roasted pumpkin seed with some dry hay and hint of "roasted-umami" taste(a bit like hojicha, but just really-really bit). Both aromas are dominant in taste and in the smell, if you are using more tea, it will be a bit bitter. Its good but i miss the balance in the taste. Fine sieving is recommended because it can be really clumsy.
If i like to compare to Koyamaens Aoarashi, the prise its the same the taste and smell is completely other world. The Aoarashi is fresh, sweet and grassy with light body, the Matsukaze is in smell sweet and the taste is really nutty with stronger body. Absolutely recommended for this prise!

My go to matcha, for everyday use, in fact I enjoy a chawan of it every morning. Smooth taste with grassy and sweetish pastry notes, creamy froth and good finish. I use 80C water. Also a very forgiving tea to work with if you're a beginner in making usucha.
