Uji matcha for making koicha from Kanbayashi Shunsho
Koicha Atomukashi is the second highest grade matcha in the Kanbayashi Shunsho portfolio.
As a Koicha, it has a rich, velvety, vegetal taste with strong umami. The sweet, creamy aftertaste develops an acacia honey note as time passes. It has a mature, fine flavor.
As an Usucha, it is pampering, easy to drink, quite mild. It has a round, smooth flavor with no bitterness and a nutty aftertaste.
This matcha is very delicious as both Koicha and Usucha.

HOW TO PREPARE
As Koicha:
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) 85℃ (185°F) water over the matcha powder.
STEP 3) Gently mix with a chasen (tea whisk) until creamy.
As Usucha:
STEP 1) Put 2g (0.4 US tsp, 1 teaspoon or 2 chashaku scoop) matcha powder into a suitable tea bowl.
STEP 2) Pour 75 ml (2.4 fl oz) 85℃ (185°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)

As a koicha, while this match was good, I preferred the Hatsumukashi. It had no bitterness, and a slight astringency. However it lacked notes that really distinguish itself as a koicha. As an usucha, that astringency really came out in a delightful way. This would be a treat usucha I'd reach for and would place with my favorite usucha matchas (or which I place the horii shichimeien single origin matchas, and ippodo premium matchas). This matcha is definitely worth the purchase, especially when you have the opportunity to compare it to Hatsumukashi.
