Marukyu Koyamaen Yugen Matcha – Ceremonial Japanese MatchaFresh, balanced, and elegantly full of character. Yugen by Marukyu Koyamaen is a ceremonial Japanese matcha known for its refreshing grassy aroma and beautifully balanced flavour. Its gentle bitterness is matched by a pleasant umami, creating a clean and well-rounded cup that is especially enjoyable as usucha, or traditional thin tea. Compared with softer and sweeter styles of matcha, Yugen has a little more structure and freshness while remaining smooth and approachable. Its balance of umami, mild bitterness, and fresh vegetal character also makes it an excellent match for Japanese sweets and light desserts.
