Ippodo Tea
Ikuyo is a medium-bodied matcha with a refreshing bitterness that's a bit more noticeable than its sweetness and umami. It offers a balanced taste with astringency, umami, and sweetness all in good proportion. This matcha has a medium-light feel, joined by a gentle, bright aroma, like sun-dried straw.
Perfect for your everyday tea time, Ikuyo is great as usucha (thin tea), served plain or with cookies, cakes, or other sweets. It's also one of our top recommendations for a matcha latte; its slight astringency pairs beautifully with milk, and its bright green color makes for a stunning drink.
