Japan: Shouraku Matcha

The poetic name of this matcha means “pure sound,” and it describes the satisfying simplicity and enjoyment of its taste just as a piano’s sound resonates through a room. This Usucha Grade Matcha is stone ground and grown by farmers in Kyotonabe, Yawata, Jouyou, and Wazuka in Kyoto prefecture. It is shaded for about 3-4 weeks for optimal sweetness.  Its underlying bitterness is perfect for blending into kinds of milk, ice creams, or even yogurt for a healthy snack.
