Izu Premium Matcha
Izu Premium Matcha is a finely powdered Japanese green tea from the Izu Peninsula. Our product notes describe shaded leaves milled into a pale green, light-textured powder.
Expect a sweet green-tea aroma, a mild yet layered taste and a lightly astringent finish. Sift the powder to break up clumps, then whisk it with the water amount in the preparation guide. Unlike steeped leaf tea, the powder remains in the cup.
