This matcha includes a blend of hand-picked leaves and is ideal for latte / confectionery and for usucha (lightly whisked matcha). With its intense flavour and high aroma, it is especially recommended for dairy and oat-milk lattes, as well as a wide range of sweets.
The tea is cultivated, processed, refined, and stone-ground entirely by the owner of Kokaen, a champion of the Kyoto Tea Appraisal Technique Competition.
Production takes place in Yoshiwara Town, a historic tea-growing region dating back to the Edo period, where the soil is enriched mainly with organic-based fertilizers, and the tea is grown with an emphasis on working in harmony with the natural environment. From soil preparation in the fields to the final stone-ground powder, each step is carefully built up, resulting in a matcha with rich flavour and aroma.
