Yugen, "Infinite Way"
Yugen, "infinite way," thin grade matcha is grown in the Uji, Kyoto region. This premium matcha is used in combination with teabowl and whisk. It tastes best made in the thin style. Use 2 bamboo tea scoops (or 1 teaspoon) to 1.5 ounces of hot water per serving. When tasting this matcha, we found an excellent balance of astringency and sweetness.
What does thin grade mean?
The grade of matcha helps guide you in making a delicious bowl of tea. The term "thin grade" means use less tea to more water, a style referred to as "thin tea."
Koyamaen Matcha
We sourced this matcha from Koyamaen, one of the foremost producers of tea in Japan. The history of Koyamaen dates back to the 1600's when Kyujiro Koyama began tea cultivation in Ogura, Japan. Koyamaen is known for the highest standard of quality in its matcha production.
Japanese Sweets and Matcha
In Japan, matcha is enjoyed in combination with small sweets. Known as Wagashi, these sweets are made from natural, plant based ingredients. Wagashi adds a personal touch to matcha drinking, a chance to express a theme or reflect the change of seasons. Their sweetness, eaten prior to drinking matcha, balances out the flavor of the tea.
Look for Wagashi at Japanese markets. They usually contain some of the following ingredients: azuki beans, kidney beans, soy beans, potatoes, rice flour, wheat flour, sesame seeds and sugar. |
