Matcha Kiun

Powdered green tea favoured by Hounsai, the 15th generation grand tea master of Urasenke

The delicious, harmonious taste of Kiun outplays the flavors of Daisosho Hounsai usucha tea, and is available lower on the price range. Although it’s also delicious as a thinner tea, it is primarily a koicha. Its fragrance is reminiscent of pumpkin seeds, with a thick, full-bodied flavor and a pronounced, long-lasting finish.

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.

Kiun has a very intriguing amalgamation of three quintessential flavors found in ceremonial matcha: umami, subtle sweetness and a hint of astringency. The aftertaste reminds me of harvested autumn vegetables such as kabocha or yakimo. This is a matcha that serves equally well in an elaborate tea ceremony or as a daily matcha.

This is a pleasant usucha. But in my opinion kiyo no mori is better and cheaper

A wonderful usucha! I can't sing it enough praise! Pleasantly vegetal - like wet grass and sweet peas - pistachios, and soy milk. Be forewarned: drinking Kiun as an usucha is a recipe for disaster.....you will NOT want to drink anything less!

This is my favourite macha from my favourite producer. I drink it as Usucha and it is the best value for money I have found so far. I have tried others at slightly higher price points and keep coming back to Kiun, as none matched its level of smoothness and aromas. It has no bitterness and so much to offer. It doesn’t have the subtlety of Choan, but then that one is more than double the price, so Kiun is my daily macha.

I loved it as a thin tea! Once I opened the can it smelled sweet and creamy. Its taste holds a strong umami. Excellent as everyday matcha drink :)

Once you open the can you notice the sweet fragrance. Very smooth and refreshing. I prefered it over Narino. Now I ordered the first flush from the same manufacture.

Great as usucha and very rich with lots of umami. One of my all time favorites. It’s easy to get spoiled drinking this and then drinking lower level teas and be wanting to only drink Kiun as an everyday matcha. For me this is a treat and not what I drink everyday, so that when I drink it I appreciate it more.

The scent in the tin is so sweet. A delicious, delicate, and creamy matcha - made as usucha.
