{"product_id":"marukyu-koyamaen-kinrin-matcha","title":"Matcha - Kinrin","description":"\u003cp data-start=\"338\" data-end=\"581\"\u003eKinrin is an introductory koicha grade matcha from Marukyu Koyamaen, one of Uji’s most established and respected tea houses. Positioned as a medium to full bodied thick tea, it offers brightness and structure within Marukyu’s koicha range.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp data-start=\"583\" data-end=\"899\"\u003ePrepared as koicha, Kinrin presents a creamy, full texture with prominent vegetal notes and a refreshingly bright character. Compared to Wako, it leans more expressive and floral, with subtle citrus like tartness reminiscent of yuzu. A gentle bitterness provides structure, while the finish remains smooth and clean.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp data-start=\"901\" data-end=\"1118\"\u003eThe dry powder carries bright, lightly acidic and floral aromas, alongside earthy sweetness reminiscent of green coffee beans. The profile is lively yet composed, with a clarity that lifts the depth typical of koicha.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp data-start=\"1120\" data-end=\"1343\"\u003eWith milk, Kinrin’s brightness becomes more pronounced. Plant based milks in particular enhance its floral and citrus leaning notes while softening bitterness, allowing its sweetness and vegetal structure to remain defined.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp data-start=\"1345\" data-end=\"1600\"\u003eMarukyu Koyamaen, founded in 1704 and based in Uji, Kyoto, is widely recognised for its long standing relationship with tea schools and its disciplined approach to cultivation and blending. The house remains one of Japan’s most prominent matcha producers.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp data-start=\"1607\" data-end=\"1626\"\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eBest suited for\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli data-start=\"1628\" data-end=\"1733\"\u003eKoicha preparation\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli data-start=\"1628\" data-end=\"1733\"\u003eUsucha preparation\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli data-start=\"1628\" data-end=\"1733\"\u003eMatcha latte preparation, particularly with plant based milks\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli data-start=\"1628\" data-end=\"1733\"\u003ePairs well with fresh fruits\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli data-start=\"1628\" data-end=\"1733\"\u003eServe chilled with lighter desserts like yuzu cheesecake, strawberry or mango chiffon cakes\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli data-start=\"1628\" data-end=\"1733\"\u003eMatcha affagato with tea based ice cream or fruity sorbets\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\u003cp data-start=\"1740\" data-end=\"1765\"\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eSuggested preparation\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp data-start=\"1767\" data-end=\"1867\"\u003eKoicha | 3.5g to 4g with minimal water at 75 to 80°C\u003cbr data-start=\"1819\" data-end=\"1822\"\u003eUsucha | 2g whisked with 60ml water at 80°C\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp data-start=\"1874\" data-end=\"2000\"\u003eOrigin | Uji, Kyoto Prefecture, Japan\u003cbr data-start=\"1911\" data-end=\"1914\"\u003eProducer | Marukyu Koyamaen\u003cbr data-start=\"1941\" data-end=\"1944\"\u003eStorage | Keep airtight and refrigerated after opening\u003cbr\u003e\u003cmeta charset=\"utf-8\"\u003eMarukyu Koyamaen Best Before Date • Read (YY\/MM\/DD)\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Marukyu Koyamaen","offers":[{"title":"40g Tin","offer_id":45978734788838,"sku":"","price":78.0,"currency_code":"AUD","in_stock":false},{"title":"100g Bag","offer_id":45978734821606,"sku":"","price":150.0,"currency_code":"AUD","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0170\/9420\/files\/Marukyu_Koyamaen_Kinrin_Matcha40.jpg?v=1733371279","url":"https:\/\/easternhillgs.com\/ja\/products\/marukyu-koyamaen-kinrin-matcha","provider":"Eastern Hill General Supplies","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
