Tasting Notes

Plentiful sweetness and umami richness balanced with slight refreshing bitterness. Medium body, with a round aftertaste and a pleasantly sweet aroma. As koicha, nuances are much more prominent, appreciating balance of umami, astringency, and fragrance. As usucha, good option for everyday teatime with cookies/cakes/sweets. As latte, mild astringency pairs well with milk, producing a softer drink with more umami than lighter blends.
