Product description

Ikuyo

Matcha
What is Matcha?

Matcha is a type of Japanese green tea that is made by grinding shade-cultivated tea leaves into a fine powder. When making matcha, we add this powder to a bowl or mug, add water, whisk, and enjoy. This is a unique tea, since you consume the entire tea leaf when you drink it.

Ikuyo 100g

Medium & Snappy

Try Ikuyo for a matcha with a balanced taste that is slightly more refreshing than satisfying. One of Ippodo’s top recommendations for a matcha latte.

Character: refreshing bitterness balanced by soft umami and medium richness. Ikuyo’s slight astringency pairs well with the milk in a matcha latte.

Suggestions:

  • When preparing your matcha, sift the dry powder right before adding water. Sifted matcha is easier to whisk fully in a short time.
  • Whisk for seconds, not minutes. Whisking for very long can produce a bitter taste.
  • Nothing beats the chasen. The classic bamboo whisk (chasen) made for whisking matcha has many fine tips. This allows you to whisk up fragrant and well-mixed matcha drinks.
  • Sip and relax. Matcha tea is essentially tiny tea leaves mixed with water, so enjoy it before the leaves separate from the water.
  • Find your favorite taste: Experiment when making matcha by trying different ratios of water to matcha and water temperatures.
  • Temperature and flavor: Scalding hot water produces fragrance and sharpness. Cold water produces a misty, rich character with low foam. Comfortably hot water makes a balanced character.
  • Make it a latte: Add your favorite milk to matcha whisked with water. Adjust the ratios and experiment to find your favorite taste.
