Yamamasa Koyamaen Shinmatcha
Yamamasa Koyamaen's seasonal matcha blend, Shin Matcha made exclusively of first-harvest fresh leaves.
Recommended for usucha (thin tea).
A mild, light, slightly astringent, yet pleasantly full-bodied, tender usucha tea with a pronounced creamy finish and hazelnut notes. It can also be prepared as a thick tea with far more intense, full-bodied, nutty and roasted notes as well as a hint of astringency. Alternatively, it can be consumed as a thin tea, simply pay attention to the appropriate water temperature as the tea can turn bitter at lower temperatures. 80°C water is recommended for usucha tea and 90-95°C for koicha tea.
Available from early May until the end of July.
Origin: Kyoto Prefecture, Japan

As Usucha:
STEP 1) Put 2g (0.4 US tsp, 1 teaspoon, or 2 chashaku scoops) matcha powder into a suitable tea bowl.
STEP 2) Pour 75 ml (2.5 fl oz) 80℃ (176°F) water over the matcha powder.
STEP 3) Whisk with a chasen (tea whisk) until foamy.
❖ 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)

Very mild, creamy, and smooth. I will definitely order this again.

Wanted to share another photo of this matcha in Matcha latte drink! It’s very tasty and the tea is strong enough (I put 4 Chashaku) to not get overshadowed by milk. Highly recommended to try!

Fresh spring grassy taste, smooth, soft, slightly astringent if brewed with a cooler temperature (70-75 Celsius). I recommend 80 degrees water and drink it as soon as you finished whisking to prevent bitterness. Pleasant easy going matcha for every occasion.

Smell reminds me of barley tea. Taste is somehow intense and mild at the same time. Overwhelmingly mild, if that's a thing. Like, the flavor isn't as aggressive as some of the other ones I've had from sazen but not lacking in intensity at all. No sweetness detected but I think I just need to drink more to find it. Very creamy.
