FAQ

Which matcha should I choose?

It depends on how you plan to enjoy your matcha.

For beginners, Isuzu offers a smooth and approachable taste.
For matcha lattes, Aoarashi has a stronger flavor that pairs well with milk.
For traditional tea (usucha), Wako provides a refined and balanced experience.
For thick tea (koicha), premium options like Unkaku or Eiju deliver deep umami and richness.

Which matcha is best for lattes?

Aoarashi and Isuzu are excellent choices for matcha lattes.

They have a stronger flavor profile that stands out when mixed with milk, creating a well-balanced and flavorful drink.

What is the difference between koicha and usucha?

Koicha (thick tea) is made with more matcha and less water, creating a rich, concentrated texture with deep umami.

Usucha (thin tea) is lighter and more refreshing, commonly enjoyed for everyday drinking.

Higher-grade matcha is typically recommended for koicha due to its smoothness and depth.
