“Refined richness with lasting harmony — Eiju Matcha.”

Eiju is one of Marukyu Koyamaen’s highly regarded ceremonial-grade matcha blends, crafted for formal tea practice. It is known for its full-bodied umami, refined sweetness, and smooth, lingering finish. The balance of depth and elegance makes it particularly well-suited for koicha (thick tea), while also enjoyable as usucha (thin tea) for those who appreciate a profound yet gentle matcha experience.

Recommended for:

• Tea practitioners seeking a dependable matcha for koicha.

• Those who enjoy a deep, rich flavor with refined sweetness.

• Ceremonial occasions and special tea gatherings.

How to prepare:

• Usucha (thin tea): Sift ~2 g matcha, add ~70 ml hot water (~80 °C), whisk briskly until a fine froth forms.

• Koicha (thick tea): Use ~4 g matcha, add ~30 ml hot water (~80 °C), and knead slowly with the whisk until smooth.
