When you take a sip, you can feel the rich aroma of matcha, the deep flavor of tea, and the mellowness and slight sweetness of milk. The tea leaves are carefully selected from young buds harvested from early to mid-May, resulting in an elegant and sharp flavor, with a refreshing and clean aftertaste. The sweetness is kept to a minimum to bring out the flavor of the matcha, while also considering its compatibility with sweets, so we recommend enjoying it as a pairing. The “Eiroku” we use is a matcha that, as the name suggests, has a bright green color that attracts the eye and that you can enjoy its color. It is made by blending tea leaves from Wazuka town and Ujitawara town in the mountainous region of Kyoto Prefecture. Both types of tea leaves are characterized by their good aroma and are matcha teas that give you a refreshing taste. We hope you enjoy this special cup when you want to calm your mind during a busy day, or when you want to focus on something.
