Isuzu is a well-balanced ceremonial-grade matcha, offering a refined harmony of refreshing and slightly vegetal aroma, mellow umami, and a touch of astringency with a slightly bitter finish. Sourced from the Marukyu Koyamaen, a renowned tea producer in Uji, Kyoto, with a history dating back to 1704. This matcha is expertly crafted for a smooth and satisfying experience.
Recommended for Usucha (thin tea), Isuzu delivers a vibrant green hue and a silky texture, making it an excellent choice for daily enjoyment. Its balanced profile also makes it a great matcha for culinary versatility—whether enjoyed traditionally, blended into lattes, or used in desserts for an added depth of flavor.
Preparation Guidelines:
- Traditional Usucha: Sift 2-3g of matcha into a bowl, add 2-4 oz of 180°F water, and whisk vigorously until frothy.
- Latte: Blend with milk or a dairy alternative for a creamy, rich matcha latte.
- Culinary Use: Add to baked goods or desserts for a refined matcha flavor.
Enjoy the balance of flavors in Isuzu Matcha, a versatile and approachable selection for both traditional tea ceremonies and modern matcha creations.
