Kuretake Matcha – Uji Tea

Kuretake is a refined Uji matcha that delivers a refreshing, clean finish, with a delicate balance of umami and subtle astringency. This matcha is ideal for those who enjoy a crisp and invigorating tea experience without sacrificing depth of flavor.

Expertly blended by a seasoned tea master in Uji, Kuretake is crafted to offer a harmonious profile that pairs beautifully with both traditional sweets and light, modern fare. Its gentle bitterness enhances the umami, making each sip smooth and satisfying.

Preparation Instructions:

1. Sift the matcha to remove any clumps and ensure a smooth texture.

2. Scoop 2 servings (about 2g) into a tea bowl using a chashaku.

3. Pour 70ml of hot water at around 80°C (176°F).

4. Whisk with a chasen using a brisk back-and-forth motion until fine foam appears. For a graceful finish, draw a gentle swirl and lift the whisk from the center.
