A hand-picked Matcha from the top region Kyotanabe. Kyotanabe is known for producing the best Gyokuro in Japan, but Matcha of the highest quality are also produced there.
This Matcha has a very distinctive umami and sweetness, which are underlined with a very delicate astringency. All in all very powerful and elegant at the same time, in addition extremely creamy and slightly fruity.
This Matcha can also be used for Koicha.
