Kinrin from Marukyu Koyamaen is an introductory Koicha (thick tea) that is medium to full bodied with a bright floral aroma. This koicha is refreshingly bright and creamy, with more prominent vegetal notes than Wako with a smooth clean finish. There are hints of citrus-like floral tartness and bitterness to this blend that you'd get from yuzu. The fragrance has bright, acidic, earthy, sweet and floral aromas like green coffee beans and really its flavour and aroma is enhanced when paired with plant based milks.
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.
