The Wakatame Matcha from Marukyu Koyamaen is a limited supply culinary matcha. A favourite of ours, this matcha starts off with a bold green and bitter flavour with lower astringency levels than the Rindo. As this tea settles in the mouth, a pleasant sweetness with hints of citrus emerges before ending with a warm, savoury umami note. The fragrance of this matcha is floral, slightly herbaceous with a yuzu-like citrus brightness. Thanks to this complexity of flavours and deep green colour, this beautiful all-rounder bridges the gap between the culinary and ceremonial grade matcha allowing it be used in baked goods, patisserie, ice creams, matcha lattes but holds its own equally as a matcha tea
Marukyu Koyamaen's '丸久小山園', history spans 300 years, and epitomises a commitment to quality in tea production. Located in the heart of Uji, Kyoto, this esteemed tea grower, procurer, and blender boasts a private estate dating back to 1704. Their range of Japanese green teas are meticulously crafted through a combination of traditional and modern techniques and remains unparalleled in the world of Matcha making. Favoured by the tea schools, shrines, temples and widely seen in the kitchens of some of the world's best restaurants and hotels, the Marukyu Koyamaen name today is far reaching and widely recognised.
