Spring Matcha

This vibrant spring-harvested matcha from Fukuoka presents a smooth, creamy texture with rich umami and fresh vegetal notes. Expect a delicate balance of sweet undertones and a clean, refreshing finis. It leans umami, vegetal and creamy.

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 Fukuoka, Japan from the Okumidori cultivar. This batch is from the Spring harvest.

Starts at $14.29 from Yuko Ono, or about $1.29/g. A 6g package gets you around 1 gongfu sessions at ~6 g each, which works out to about $7.74 per session. Explore more green teas on Teadar.
