Powdered green tea favoured by Hounsai, the 15th generation grand tea master of Urasenke
This tea offers a mixture of acrid, full-bodied and tart flavors. The taste is a transition between Shohaku and Zuishen no Shiro. A teasing tartness is still present in the tea, yet it has a more full-bodied, pronounced flavor than the Shohaku. It also features a discreet background bitterness, which subtly enhances its character.

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.

I just had three bowls of this in a row, trying to figure out how to describe this tea, but it's a pretty tough nut to crack. The shop description is spot on. I tried rather hard to hunt for a word that wasn't "acrid", but that is indeed the best characterization for the type of bitterness in here. It hits right at the beginning, and you can almost feel it coating your mouth. After the bitterness comes a bit of sweetness, but it doesn't quite go in the sweet potato or toasty direction you might expect on a more robust usucha, instead, it hangs out a bit near melon, with greener flavors. Never obnoxiously grassy, but never quite friendly either. The finish is long. It's been 15 minutes and I can still taste most of the above. Aroma is not very strong, but fresh and pleasant. This is less of an everyday tea, and more of a statement. Recommended: - Drink it after some of the heavier or fruitier desserts. - Serve guests who are experienced drinkers of matcha. Not recommended: - Making it weak or with water that's hotter than 90C(195F), it retains the upfront bitterness but loses the other interesting aspects. - Serving large numbers of people or beginners.
