Detailed Taste Profile - Premium Uji Matcha
Our Special Selection Organic Uji Matcha boasts a multi-layered flavor profile that delights the senses.
-
Color: A deep, vibrant jade green. Thanks to organic and shade-grown cultivation, it accumulates abundant chlorophyll, captivating observers.
-
Aroma: Upon opening, a sweet, characteristic matcha aroma fills the air. When prepared, a refreshing "Ooika" (shaded aroma), reminiscent of high-quality nori seaweed, harmonizes with a subtle, sweet fragrance unique to stone-milled matcha, creating an aromatic symphony.
-
Flavor: The moment it touches the palate, a mellow and rich wave of umami spreads. Following this, a profound, elegant sweetness derived from Theanine lingers on the tongue. Astringency and bitterness are extremely mild, merely serving as subtle accents to tighten the aftertaste. Overall, you'll enjoy a well-balanced, delicate, and profound flavor.
-
Mouthfeel: The extremely fine particles, achieved through traditional stone-milling, result in a smooth, creamy texture when dissolved in water. The fine foam created during whisking further contributes to a silky texture, providing a pleasant sensation as it glides down the throat.
