This is a popular choice for its smooth, well-rounded flavor with low astringency. It has a aromatic flavour profile that is slightly vegetal, mellow and moderate in umami. It is delicate enough for drinking straight (usucha) and robust enough for making into matcha lattes. It is an ideal choice for matcha beginners!
Suitable for: Latte, usucha (thin tea)
Nose - Grassy, vegetal, slight seaweed fragrance
Taste (usucha) - well-rounded umami and full-bodied sweetness with a slight astringent finish
Taste (latte) - robust, earthy flavour with refined bitterness and basic notes of umami, sweetness and astringency
