Suiho

Matcha (Suiho – Usucha / 30g)

A rich and flavorful Uji matcha with a subtle toasty aroma when whisked.

"Suihō" is a high-quality usucha (thin matcha) made from carefully selected tea leaves from Uji, Kyoto — a region renowned for producing some of Japan’s finest matcha. When whisked, it releases a delicate, pleasant hi-ka (toasty aroma) that adds depth to the experience. Its smooth body and umami-rich taste make it perfect for both casual tea drinkers and those studying or practicing chado (the Japanese tea ceremony).

Whether enjoyed on its own or served to guests, this matcha offers a satisfying and refined flavor with a lingering finish.

How to Prepare Usucha (Thin Matcha):

1. What you’ll need:

   • Matcha bowl (chawan)

   • Bamboo whisk (chasen)

   • Bamboo scoop (chashaku) or teaspoon

   • Fine sifter (optional)

2. Ingredients:

   • 1–2 scoops of matcha (approx. 1–2 grams)

   • 60–70 ml (2–2.5 oz) of hot water (75–80°C or 170–175°F)

3. Instructions:

   1. Sift the matcha into your bowl to prevent clumping.
