The colour is deep, the aroma carries far, and the taste holds its full structure — every layer of the leaf present, from the first sip to the finish that remains long after the bowl is empty. It whisks into a thick, lasting foam that lighter matcha cannot achieve. This is matcha for the drinker who has come to know matcha, and wants it as it truly is.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eYou can make it as a latte, and it will be a good one. But the notes you paid for are the first thing milk covers.

Presented in a handcrafted tin by Kato Seisakusho — an Asakusabashi workshop that has been making tea caddies since 1895.
