From $22.00

Quantity

Fresh green tea: consume quickly

Serving size Usucha: 2 g (1 tsp.)
Koicha: 4 g (2 tsp.)

Net weight1.4 oz (40 g)
We recommend Sayaka for your first taste of Ippodo matcha, as it is a smooth blend with umami and just a hint of astringency. Try this matcha as koicha to experience the full depth and nuances of its character. As usucha, Sayaka is an accessible tea to serve to beginners and connoisseurs alike at teatime. For matcha lattes, we usually recommend a medium-to-light category matcha with more astringency, but some will choose Sayaka for its bright color, umami, and soft astringency.
