Flavors: Sweet, Umami, Vegetal
Preparation
Marukyu Koyama-en is one of my favorite brands. I especially love their cold brew Matcha powder, which is freeze-dried in the preparation process. You just have to add cold water, whisk and enjoy a refreshing bowl of Matcha.

Flavors: Green, Vegetal
Preparation
This Matcha is highly aromatic in its scent especially during the whisking process.
Its taste profile is one of the crisp and vegetal Matcha teas with an alga-maritime flavor, a full body and persistent, with an astringent and rich finish.

Flavors: Umami, Vegetal
Preparation
A yellowish green liquor with roasty nuances of toasted rice, neither too strong, nor too mild, perfectly matches the vegetal and slight sweet taste of the green tea base.
Flavors: Roasted, Sweet, Toasted Rice, Vegetal
Preparation
I like Hojicha best when it does not have a dominant charcoal-tobacco taste. Unfortunately this one is very heavenly roasted.
It has taken some trying for me to like this dark roasted Hojicha.
Flavors: Toasty, Tobacco
Preparation
Matcha Silver makes a good everyday Matcha with a mild body and a long vegetal finish.
There wasn’t any astringency and bitterness but some crispy notes were here and there.
The texture was silky and smooth.

Flavors: Green, Sweet, Vegetal
Preparation
An organic blend of spring and summer harvest from Kagoshima and Kyoto.
This Sencha is high aromatic in its scent and fills the air with a complex aroma of umami and amami.
The liquor is a cloudy green with yellowish nuances in the cup.
Up to 5 infusions were possible, however, the flavor began already to fade with the 4th infusion.
The flavor was full-bodied and complex with a good balance of sweetness and umami.
The finish was vegetal with a refreshing astringency that gains more intensity in the following infusions.
