Suigetsu (水月) is a first-harvest tea powder from Mie. Strictly speaking it is a gyokuro powder rather than a matcha, and it is used in exactly the same way — the difference shows u p as an unusually concentrated umami. Rich umami and sweetness carry a nutty fragrance, with just enough bitterness to give the cup balance. It is a refined bitterness rather than a harsh one, and the finish stays mellow long after the last sip. The colour is a clean, bright green. Origin: Mie | Cultivar: Blend (mostly Yabukita) | Harvest: 1st Harvest | Supply: ~1 ton/month One of the best value-for-quality choices in our range. Recommended for Usucha and matcha lattes.
