Unkaku, meaning “crane in the clouds,” is ceremonial grade tea with sophisticated, full-bodied flavors, boasting grassy notes, sans noticeable bitter or tart undertones. Prepared as koicha, it will delight discerning palates with its elegant, flavors, full of character, only to give way to a lingering sweet after-taste. Compared with Kinrin, which follows it in the line-up, Unkaku boasts more full-bodied as well as more even-keeled flavors. It is a top-grade tea with extraordinary promise.

How to prepare
STEP 1) Put 4g (0.8 US tsp, 2 teaspoon or 4 chashaku scoop) matcha powder into a suitable tea bowl.
STEP 2) Pour 30 ml (1 fl oz) 80℃ (176°F) water over the matcha powder.
STEP 3) Gently knead with a chasen (tea whisk) until all lumps are gone.
❖ Before Step 1, warm up the tea bowl with hot water, then dry it with a cloth to create the perfect temperature so make the most delicious matcha with a fresh scent while preparing. (Optional)
❖ To prevent clotting of the matcha powder, sift it through a fine strainer before use. (Strongly recommended)
❖ After the matcha is done, drink it immediately, because as it cools down it gets more and more bitter. (Recommended)
❖ Freshness is the most important thing for the enjoyment of Matcha. It is best to use up the tea within one month of opening. (Strongly recommended)

Very balanced, I love it! When made as usucha, it offers a beautiful harmony of rich smoothness and grassy umami, then it surprises you with a creamy sweet aftertaste. As thick tea or koicha, Unkaku engulfs the senses with full-bodied decadent umami with no astringent undertones, very much like a perfectly ripe avocado in the month of July.

Surprisingly good matcha! Mainly prepared as koicha, both aroma and taste were very satisfying, even on "thicker" koicha. Highly recommended.

Very Lovely matcha. Very Fragrant when whisking. The taste is tantalizing. I love it as koicha, usucha, and although untraditional, it tastes very good prepared as an intermediate between koicha and usucha.
Extraordinary matcha with the name of ‘long life’ for making thick tea (koicha)
