Matcha "Gokuzume" – 30g

Matcha Gokuzume is the most affordable offering in Senchasou's premium matcha collection. Despite its accessibility, it delivers a well-balanced combination of matcha’s signature bitterness, astringency, and umami. This makes it a perfect match with traditional sweets and an excellent choice for both matcha lattes and usucha (thin matcha).

Key Features:

• Inspired by the tea culture established by renowned feudal lord and tea master, Matsudaira Fumai.

• A rare matcha loved by a feudal lord—truly one of a kind in Japan.

• Carefully selected tea leaves sourced from contracted farms across Japan, then expertly blended to create a unique and irreplaceable flavor.
  

• Only matcha that meets the strict quality standards of Kyoto’s Uji region is used.

• Freshness guaranteed: Tencha is milled in-house using traditional stone mills, ensuring your matcha is freshly ground before shipping.

How to Prepare Matcha (Usucha – Thin Matcha Style):

1. Sift 1 to 2 grams (about 1/2 to 1 teaspoon) of matcha into a matcha bowl (chawan) to remove clumps.

2. Heat water to about 75–80°C (170–175°F).

3. Add about 60–70 ml (2–2.5 oz) of hot water to the bowl.

4. Whisk briskly in a zigzag or “M” motion using a bamboo whisk (chasen) until a fine froth appears on the surface.

5. Enjoy immediately.

For a matcha latte, simply mix the sifted matcha with a small amount of hot water to make a paste, then add steamed milk of your choice and sweeten to taste.
