Chikusen

Chikusen Matcha – Uji Tea

Chikusen is a high-quality matcha that can be enjoyed both as usucha (thin tea) and koicha (thick tea), making it a versatile choice for everyday enjoyment or special tea gatherings. Crafted with care, it offers a well-balanced flavor and a rich, satisfying taste.

Carefully blended by a skilled tea master from Uji, Japan—renowned for its superior matcha—Chikusen is an excellent choice for those seeking harmony between smooth umami, gentle bitterness, and a deep aroma. Its refined quality makes it perfect for both newcomers and experienced tea drinkers.

Preparation Instructions:

1. Sift the matcha powder to remove any clumps.

2. Using a chashaku (bamboo scoop), place 2 scoops (about 2g) into a tea bowl for usucha, or 3–4 scoops (about 3–4g) for koicha.

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

4. Whisk using a chasen (bamboo whisk). For usucha, use a quick back-and-forth motion until a fine foam forms. For koicha, gently knead the tea into a smooth, thick consistency without creating foam.
