Tokusen Ceremonial Matcha, 50g | Yame, Kyushu

An incredibly special matcha and we unfortunately do not have too much of it. This is another direct import from Yame, Kyushu. This is a Yabukita tea plant and it has an incredibly nuanced and complex bitter cacao flavor. The oldest and most refined brother in our Yame lineup—this is what Jo and Tokujo aspire to be.

Tastes magnificent as a koicha, usucha or a strong matcha latte. The complexity holds up no matter how you prepare it. Come get this special tea while we still have it. As you all know in the Japanese green tea world, the market is volatile and your favorite tea can sell out quickly.

For a thick tea: warm up your bowl with hot water, sieve 2,5 to 3 grams of matcha, pour 30 grams of 70 degrees water, mix everything together with your whisk until perfectly creamy and foamy. I, Hillel Lowinsky, prefer a thicker tea because when it's as delicious as our matcha, the umami leaves a creamy coating in my mouth and the flavors and aromas stick around for hours.
