High-Grade Matcha Tea from Yamamasa Koyamaen

This deep, full-bodied koicha tea features an intense profile with a long aftertaste, showcasing flavors of toasted seeds, roasted coffee, cocoa beans, and dark chocolate, accented by a hint of creaminess. Ideal for those preferring bold, distinctive flavors rather than mild sweetness, this tea is best enjoyed as a thick tea (koicha). When prepared as a thin tea (usucha), its flavor harmony can be disrupted, often resulting in astringency and bitterness. For optimal enjoyment, use a higher dilution—70 ml of 80°C water for 1.5 g of tea.
