“A harmonious blend of light astringency and umami — Yugen Matcha.”

This thin‑tea matcha offers a fresh green aroma, paired with a delicate astringency and rich umami that balance elegantly. It stands a rank above lighter teas like Aoarashi, with more depth and refinement, and is smoother and more sophisticated than Isuzu. Freshly stone‑ground from soft new buds—unsuffocated and full of natural flavor—Yugen is beloved for complementing both Japanese wagashi and Western sweets.

Recommended for:

• Those who enjoy a matcha with balanced bitterness and umami.

• Users looking for a refined, versatile tea for both traditional settings and desserts.

• People who prefer a matcha that harmonizes well with both Japanese and Western confectionery.

How to prepare (Usucha):

1. Sift ~1.5–2 g of matcha into a warmed bowl.

2. Add ~70 ml hot water (~80 °C).

3. Whisk briskly until a fine froth forms.
