Color: Medium jade green with fine, evenly colored powder.
Aroma & Flavor: Steamed grass, white beans, lightly boiled greens, with a hint of cool earth after rain. The finish is gentle and uncomplicated.
Umami: Light — enough to create balance, not deep but pleasantly rounded.
Sweetness: Subtle and short-lived, but clean and easy on the palate.
Bitterness/Astringency: Slight on the tip of the tongue when brewed strong, but fades quickly.
Texture: Moderately fine; sifts well and whisks into stable foam.

✅ Best suited for: Matcha lattes, daily usucha, and beginners just starting their matcha journey.
