Mitsuboshien Kanbayashi - Chiyo no Kotobuki

This brand truly excels at crafting matcha that’s incredibly pleasing to the palate. Not just Ato—this little Chiyo doesn’t disappoint either. When whisked clear, it’s quite creamy, with a long-lasting aroma and silky smooth texture. In a latte, it holds up well without being overpowered by the milk. It has a rich body and deep umami. The aftertaste is pleasantly sweet, refreshing, and lingers with a hint of fresh grass.

One thing consistent across this brand’s matcha: the color is always stunning—vivid green like food coloring 🤣.
