Sayaka no Mukashi

Sayaka no Mukashi is perfect for beginners of Ippodo’s tea to make usucha (light tea) or koicha (thick tea). It has a refined, well-balanced richness with an elegant flavour, allowing you to enjoy a complex range of flavours in a single cup. The slight astringency paired with the creamy texture makes this a delightful matcha in each sip.

How to Brew

Usucha (Thin Matcha):

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 2 scoops, or 1 scoop from an ordinary teaspoon (approx. 1.5g)

1. Add 2 scoops of matcha powder to your tea bowl or cup.

2. Pour around 70ml of not quite boiling water into the tea bowl.

3. Whisk the matcha with a chasen (Japanese bamboo whisk) or a small whisk, for about 15 seconds until smooth and slightly foamy.

How to Store

We recommend storing your matcha in the refrigerator once opened. For the best flavour and colour, we recommend finishing the tin within 8 weeks of opening.
