How to prepare
STEP 1: Place 1.5–2 g (approx. ½ tsp or 2 chashaku (traditional tea scoop)) of matcha powder into a suitable tea bowl.
STEP 2: Pour 70 ml (2.4 fl oz) of 80°C (176°F) water over the powder.
STEP 3: Whisk (vigorously) with a chasen (tea whisk) until frothy.
❖ Warm the tea bowl with hot water first, then dry it thoroughly with a cloth. This helps maintain the ideal temperature and brings out the fresh aroma of the matcha.
❖ Sift the matcha powder through a fine strainer before use to prevent clumping (strongly recommended).
❖ Drink the matcha immediately after preparing it, as it may become more bitter as it cools.
❖ After opening the matcha packaging, consume all the tea within one month for the best experience.

Well, it's certainly an oobukucha. The mellow, slightly fruity profile is classic for an aged matcha. I found it inoffensively pleasant to drink, but it's a bit too mild for my taste. On the positive side, there were no bitter or sharp notes to it. I imagine there are people who would love this matcha for those very same reasons I found it uncompelling. Though this is listed as usucha, I found it drinkable as koicha. I've had koicha blends more bitter than this.

I’m very glad I picked this one. Upon opening the new can, I can smell a complex aroma of fruity, almost like peach, and nutty notes. It has mellow taste of roasted nut and seaweed to me.

I figured I would give this one a try even though no one has reviewed it yet and I am very glad that I did - matcha blend is delicious. I am not big on tasting notes, but I can say that for me at least, it wasn't grassy but rather creamy and nutty. Very easy and enjoyable to drink. I am going to get more. And the price is right.
