IKKYU Itaru Premium Organic Matcha (20 Grams)

A rare and exceptional competition-grade, stone-milled matcha from Yame, creamy, extra sweet and with a remarkable fragrance, and just the right amount of bitter notes.

The vibrant emerald green of its fine powder is beautiful. Its rich umami leaves a wonderfully smooth mouthfeel. Its high levels of caffeines and theanine help your body and mind stay focused and packed with energy. A extraordinary treat for the most demanding matcha connoisseurs.

Here is what Yuka san, our tea instructor, says about ITARU: “ITARU is a matcha that tastes like happiness. It contains a lot of umami, it is sweet and subtly astringent. This matcha has vegetal and nutty notes while being superbly smooth. It has a pronounced full-bodied aftertaste that distinguishes it from other matcha. It stays in the mouth for a long time and makes you want to go back to it.

Good for making usucha (light matcha) and koicha (strong matcha). As koicha, its flavors are rich and splendid! I find it delicious no matter how you drink it.”

Like with all matcha, please store ITARU in your fridge and keep it away from heat sources and direct sunlight.
