Yugen, "Infinite Way" Matcha Tea
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. |
