Flavourful usucha (thin tea), excellence in everyday life, from Yamamasa Koyamaen

Matcha Ogurayama Matcha Ogurayama Matcha Ogurayama Matcha Ogurayama

Usucha (thin tea) grade Uji matcha.

This full-bodied matcha offers a gentle and creamy sweetness, subtle notes of grass and roasted seaweed with a mild astringency. Smooth, creamy perfect for daily use.

Tasting note: Roast seaweed, grassy, buttery.

Ogurayama is an exceptionally tasty, pampering, dreamy matcha tea, mild in character with sweet, creamily full-bodied, delicate flavours. As an usucha tea, it offers a rather pleasant, joyful experience for those seeking a more engaging flavour as well as for those just getting to know matcha tea.

The meaning of Ogurayama "小倉山" :
"Mount Ogura" is a mountain in Saga, Kyoto, that faces Arashiyama from across the Hozu river. It is said that Fujiwara no Sadaie (also known as Fujiwara no Teika) compiled the "Hyakunin Isshu" ("One Hundred Poets, One Poem Each") at his lodge there. For this reason, the seminal waka anthology is also sometimes called the "Ogura Hyakunin Isshu"

Instructions:

As Usucha- Thin Tea:
STEP 1 Put 2g (0.4 US tsp, 1 teaspoon or 2 chashaku scoop) matcha powder into a suitable tea bowl.
STEP 2 Pour 70 ml (2.4 fl oz) 80℃ (176°F) water over the matcha powder.
STEP 3 Whisk with a chasen (tea whisk) until foamy.

As Koicha- Thick Tea:
STEP 1 Put 4g (0.8 US tsp, 2 teaspoon or 4 chashaku scoop) matcha powder into a suitable tea bowl.
STEP 2 Pour 30 ml (1 fl oz) 80℃ (176°F) water over the matcha powder.
STEP 3 Gently knead with a chasen (tea whisk) until all lumps are gone.

❖ Before Step 1, warm up the tea bowl with hot water, then dry it with a cloth to create the perfect temperature so make the most delicious matcha with a fresh scent while preparing. (Optional)
❖ To prevent clotting of the matcha powder, sift it through a fine strainer before use. (Strongly recommended)
❖ After the matcha is done, drink it immediately, because as it cools down it gets more and more bitter. (Recommended)
❖ Freshness is the most important thing for the enjoyment of Matcha. It is best to use up the tea within one month of opening. (Strongly recommended)
