Kan no Shiro

Kan no Shiro is a mid-range matcha from Ippodo, offering a well-balanced flavor that is light and mellow. It is an excellent choice for those who enjoy matcha rich in umami and natural sweetness, complemented by a subtle hint of bitterness. This matcha has a medium body, a rounded aftertaste, and a pleasantly sweet aroma.

As usucha, Kan no Shiro is perfect for everyday teatime, served straight alongside cookies, cakes, or other sweets. In a matcha latte, its mild astringency blends beautifully with milk, creating a softer, more umami-forward drink compared to lighter blends.

Please note: All best-before dates follow the Japanese format YY.MM.DD.

How to Brew

How to Make the Perfect Matcha Latte

We recommend you use not quite boiling water, around 80°C works well.

If you are using a chashaku (a Japanese bamboo teaspoon) we recommend 4 scoops, or 2 scoops from an ordinary teaspoon (approx. 3g)

  1. Pass your matcha powder through a tea strainer into your tea bowl or cup.
  2. Pour around 60ml of not quite boiling water into the tea bowl.

3. Whisk this for around 15 seconds with a chasen (Japanese bamboo whisk) or a small whisk. It should be smooth and slightly foamy.

4. Pour in the warm milk of your choice (we recommend soy milk) and enjoy!
