Matcha

This organic Matcha Kaori from Kyoto offers a rich, vibrant cup with pronounced umami depth. Expect a smooth, creamy texture beautifully balanced by fresh grassy notes and a subtle, natural sweetness. It leans umami, grassy and sweet.

Water around 70–80 °C (158–176 °F). In a mug, steep 2–3 min. For gongfu, use 3–5 g per 100 ml, 15–30 s steeps. You'll get to see how the flavor changes across multiple rounds. The biggest mistake with green tea is using boiling water. Keep it well below that and you won't get bitterness.

Grown in Kyoto, Japan.
