Koyamaen’s Chigi no Shiro is a mid-grade thin tea (usucha) and often used at tea events
A vibrant, grassy, and very soft-flavored tea with a touch of tartness. No bitter or sweet notes, but much velvety creaminess characterizes this even-keeled matcha, which is also excellent value for money. This tea exudes harmony, tranquility, and peace.
The meaning of Chigi no Shiro "千木の白" :
Marukyu Koyamaen received this name from Keikouin Shun, the former Grand Priest of Ise Jingu (Ise Grand Shrine), to commemorate the relocation of the shrine and the dedication to maintaining tradition with a constantly renewed spirit, inspired by the ornamental rafter ends that extend beyond the gables of the new main shrine.

How to prepare
STEP 1) Put 2g (0.4 US tsp, 1 teaspoon or 2 chashaku scoop) matcha powder into a suitable tea bowl.
STEP 2) Pour 70 ml (2.4 fl oz) 80℃ (176°F) water over the matcha powder.
STEP 3) Whisk with a chasen (tea whisk) until foamy.
❖ 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)
EXTRA TIP
❖ Try iced matcha: pour the finished matcha over ice.
Its a really nice and soft flavoured Usucha, a bit complexer than Isuzu. It smells really fresh and surprizingly like peach. Tastes like light sweet green sorrel, some wheatgrass and has slight umami. Its easyer to whisk and it has stronger creamy foam than Isuzu. I highly recommend it to beginners. I recommend to try it on lower temperatures too (60-65°C)

The base of this chigi no shiro cha is delicious, grassy and fresh with a satisfying umami and creamy rich tone.
I have tried it cold and warm-hot. It frothes nicely and can be customised to your suit your taste bud preference (adding more or less) without compromising the taste.
If you are not in a habit of drinking matcha, this drink will change that so please do remember the caffeine element :)
I rate Sazen a billion stars for their informative website and excellent customer services.
They will take good care of you ;D
