Matcha Ceremonial Top Grade - Shohokuen, Uji

Full-bodied and creamy, with the deep umami that shaded Uji leaf is known for and very little bitterness underneath it.

This is the grade to reach for when you are making a bowl properly. It whisks to a thick, even foam and the color stays bright green rather than turning olive. It also makes an excellent latte, if you do not mind spending it on milk.

Of the three ceremonial grades we carry from Shohokuen, this is the middle one.
