The preferred choice by Urasenke Japanese tea master Zabosai Oiemoto (坐忘斎家元). This ceremonial matcha for thin tea (usucha) has wonderfully fresh palate, softly aroma, and soft finish. It uses the same leaves as our ikenoshiro matcha; differences across production lots distinguish the two teas.
Suitable for usucha.
