Characterized by a refreshing grassy aroma with a well-balanced flavor that’s between mild bitterness and umami, this Matcha goes great with all kinds of confectionery. It’s also one of the best-known of all Marukyu Koyamaen’s Matcha products.

I actually had this for awhile in my cupboard.
The tiny can just stood there in my fridge looking pretty
…I lacked the courage to try it.
But today is the day!
Took me forever to whisk the pouder out, F-O-R-E-V-E-R, but the end result is pretty. Fresh cloudy green. Aroma: The pouder before steeping/whisking is very…seaweedy.
But the first sip revealed a sweet tea with a little seaweed note at the end.
JOY! The seaweed I can work on… Maybe work with the amount of matcha.
I ordered this Yugen matcha from Marukyu Koyamaen with some of their other principal matcha. I have tried lots of other matcha, but this one is special. The aroma of the dry powder has chocolate notes that Marukyu Koyamaen’s other matcha did not have. The usucha I’ve whipped up with this matcha has been creamy, rich, and not at all bitter or astringent. I like to prepare this matcha on the thicker side of usucha to fully enjoy the indulgent flavors it has to offer.
Flavors: Butter, Chocolate, Cream, Cucumber, Raspberry
Picked it up on a whim from my local tea shop because I was low. Compared to:
Teavana
Midori Spring Gold
Midori Spring Emerald
Aiya
this is my favorite matcha!! It is the most beautiful emerald green I have seen yet. It tastes rich without being bitter. (I find midori gold to be a bit too delicate for what I want in a matcha). It’s creamy and herbal without being kale-bitter. Mine was $22 for the amount that would have been $27 midori gold on amazon and i’m liking it better. I think I’ve found my staple.
No exact measurements sorry because I use a chashaku to scoop it into a fine tea strainer and then push it through to sift. I think I’m rather generous with the powder.
I like all my matcha with about 1oz milk and 1/8 tsp sugar.
Flavors: Creamy, Herbs, Vegetal
