Matsukaze Matcha by Yamamasa Koyamaen

Sourced from Uji, Kyoto by the esteemed Yamamasa Koyamaen—a tea producer founded in 1861 and a twenty-two-time winner at Japan's National Tea Competition—this culinary-grade matcha delivers a bold and robust character. Matsukaze strikes a distinctive flavor profile marked by dark chocolate, coffee, and citrus peel notes, with a creamy yet astringent mouthfeel that keeps the palate engaged. Versatile across multiple applications, it works equally well whisked as thin tea, blended into lattes, or incorporated into culinary creations. Despite its entry-level positioning and accessible price point, this matcha reflects Yamamasa Koyamaen's commitment to exceptional raw materials and stone-milling standards.
