Yamamasa Koyamaen - Yomo No Kaori

Yomo no Kaori Matcha from Yamamasa Koyamaen is a remarkably well-rounded matcha that excels in balance. It's full-bodied and creamy with a natural sweetness that builds as you sip. The mouthfeel is bold and satisfying, with a high note of umami that appears in the finish and a lingering aftertaste that keeps you coming back. While it can show a touch of astringency, careful temperature control brings out its best qualities. This matcha shines as usucha (thin tea) and makes an exceptional matcha latte, where its full-bodied creaminess and natural sweetness really come through.
