Japan: Genou Matcha

The poetic name means “Heart of Hearts.”  The balance and complexity of this matcha are perfect for those who like to make strong servings.  The special bittersweet cocoa taste and nutty aroma will become more pronounced when made thick.  Good quality matcha doesn’t become bitter when more is used. Instead, the taste will be stronger, and the consistency will become thicker.  This is what makes Koicha grade matcha so unique.
