Matcha Yume Organic (40g tin)
Ceremonial Grade
Product code:
CSTAD-473
Here is a Ceremonial Grade organic Matcha green tea from a spring harvest that comes from Kirishima in Kagoshima Prefecture on Japan's southernmost main island, Kyushu.
Before emulsifying, the fine powder gives off notes of chocolate milk. The creamy mousse is very easy to obtain, which will please both less experienced amateurs and connoisseurs.
The taste of the beverage starts with vegetable notes (endives) and ends with subtle tropical fruit flavours typical of the Yabukita cultivar.
