Kan-no-shiro 30g Box | Ippodo Tea - Ceremonial Grade Matcha

Kan-no-shiro is a fine choice for those who enjoy matcha with plentiful umami and sweetness, balanced by a bit of astringency. It has a medium body, with a round aftertaste and a pleasantly sweet aroma. This well-balanced matcha offers an airy and mellow taste, accompanied by a refreshing, slightly bitter aftertaste that is invigorating.

As koicha, this matcha's nuances are much more prominent, and you can fully appreciate its balance of umami, astringency, and fragrance. As usucha, Kan-no-shiro is a good option for everyday teatime, served straight and with cookies, cakes, or other sweets. In a matcha latte, its mild astringency pairs well with the milk, producing a softer drink with more umami than lighter blends.
