Descriptions:

High grade matcha tea from Yamamasa Koyamaen

Matcha Seiun Matcha Seiun Matcha Seiun

Koicha (thick tea) grade Uji matcha.

Origin: Kyoto Prefecture, Japan

An intense, velvety full-bodied, robust, creamy, sweet koicha tea. Its robust, characteristic and lingering aftertaste reveals toasted seed aromas. It is a lighter, sweeter tea compared to the Tennouzan, the next on our list. When prepared as a thin tea (usucha), it offers intensive, creamy flavours, whilst the fullness and characteristics of the tea remain concealed. Use 80-85°C water for usucha and 95°C water for koicha tea, as lower temperatures could result in bitter flavours.

The meaning of Seiun "星雲" :
The Japanese word for "nebula" (read as "seiun") is a compound that beautifully merges two different entities into one: "star cloud".

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)
