Ceremonial Matcha (Uji Blend)

Description

This matcha offers a vibrant, deep green colour and a rich aroma. It's carefully blended with Samidori and Okumidori for colour and fragrance, Tenmyo for umami and soft flavour, and Yabukita to balance the overall profile. This high-quality ceremonial grade matcha is perfect for everyday drinking as a latte or for specialty cooking, including high-quality matcha gelato, baked goods, and Japanese sweets.

Maison Koko is not liable for any loss of freshness or quality resulting from improper handling or storage once the pouch has been opened.
