About matcha (抹茶)

Matcha is made from finely ground shade-grown tea leaves called "tencha." It contains about three times the antioxidants of regular green tea and is an excellent source for powerful catechins such as epigallocatechin gallate (EGCG) that are believed to have cleansing, anti-viral effects.

Velvety and great with a splash of milk!

I picked up a tin of Yoshi’s Matcha after the owner Amy recommended it to me in-store, and I’m so glad I did! The scent has sweet undertones that almost remind me of cocoa, similar to other matchas I’ve tried from the Shizuoka region.

Prepared as usucha, the texture is velvety and smooth, with a strong flavor. I’d probably use a slightly lower water temperature than the suggested 79°C to cut down on the bitterness, but it’s still just as enjoyable. Just as recommended, it really shines in lattes. The flavor holds up really well with the creaminess of milk, and the tea flavor stands out perfectly instead of fading away.

If you’re someone who enjoys versatility in matcha, make sure to grab yourself a tin as these are limited!
