Matcha Hiun 飛雲 Rushing Clouds – 40g in a metal box

Description

ORIGIN & HARVEST TIME

Japan, Kyoto, Uji 2024

CHARACTER

Entry-level, ceremonial-quality usucha matcha. We recommend it to all those new to matcha and need a wallet-saving, but not disappointing, sweet tea rich in umami. Its a true usucha, wonderfully light, almost silky smooth experience with a refreshing finish, a hint of sweetness and a tiny, citrusy aftertaste. It is a versatile tea that can be enjoyed anytime, anywhere.

The Kyoto matcha specialist tea house produces teas that are outstandingly finely ground, even among premium teas. This guarantees an above-average, silky, creamy effect, with a livelier, more full-bodied flavour. The finished tea is not only frothy on the surface. The whole tea has a creamy, velvety texture. It is easy to prepare, easy to froth, and retains its character for a relatively long time after opening if kept in the refrigerator.

Usucha, Latte
