Matcha Koun

The highest grade usucha (thin tea) or the enty grade koicha (thick tea) in Hokoen range

Depending on the manner of its brewing, the Koun ranges up towards a pleasantly sweet, light, creamy and pampering usucha or it can be a gentle, delicious koicha tea. Its quality far exceeds other teas suitable as an usucha, whilst as a koicha, it represents the entry level of Hokoen teas.

The meaning of Koun "香雲" :
The two characters that make up “koun” stand for “aroma” and “cloud” respectively.
Here the connotation is of a tea with such a wonderfully rich and fragrant aroma that it reaches high into the sky and touches the clouds.

Please note, that Sazen Tea does not keep this product in stock. We get all matcha and tea powder fresh from the factories only after an order is placed for it on our website, and this process can take a few days. Thank you for your patience!

How to prepare

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 70 ml (2.4 fl oz) 80℃ (176°F) water over the matcha powder.
STEP 3) Whisk with a chasen (tea whisk) until foamy.

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) 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)

A good quality and tasty matcha for every morning. Has a pleasantly fresh matcha aroma, very unnoticable astringency and slightly sweet taste. Goes well with soy or almond milk for matcha lattes and as usucha. Highly recommend.
