Ikuyo-no-mukashi | Ippodo Tea - Ceremonial Grade Matcha

Ikuyo is a balanced matcha with astringency, umami, and sweetness in proportion, with a medium-light body. This matcha is slightly sweeter, with mild earthiness and a hint of creaminess, offering a gentle, earthy flavour with a subtle sweetness.

Ikuyo delivers little to no bitterness accompanied by soft umami and medium richness, with its slight astringency pairing well with milk in a matcha latte. This very easy-to-drink taste goes well with anything, making it ideal for newcomers to matcha.
