  • Description
  • Tasting Notes
  • How to Make Matcha

An exquisite and rare selection from Tenryu, Shizuoka. We love featuring Koshun for its herbal and fruity aroma and playfulness on the palate. Our particular Koshun matcha is grown at a high altitude of 600m above sea level (testing the limits of where tea can be produced), resulting in a rich, deep flavor. 

Our producer notes that the tea pairs deliciously with a touch of milk, making a luxurious latte.

Aroma: pleasingly herbaceous

Flavor profile: a lively and playful tea that hits all sides of your tongue. Piquant and slightly floral. Koshun Matcha’s silky tang is sure to stay with you sip after sip.

How to brew: 

  • Warm your chawan tea bowl with hot water.
  • Place 1.5-2g (1 tsp) of  matcha into your chawan.
  • Add 1 ounce of 160ºF-175ºF water to the tea and make koicha (a thick paste).
  • Add about another 1.5-2 ounces of water.
  • Whisk with your chasen until the tea is fully aerated to make usucha.
  • Enjoy!

Koshun Matcha Green Tea

$ 42.00

Tea Notes:

The tea garden is located upstream of the Tenryu River in Shizuoka Prefecture.

Tencha is grown here at an altitude of nearly 600m above sea level at the foot of the Southern Alps, close to the limit of where tea can be produced and the highest altitude in Japan. When tea is grown at high altitudes, it produces high-quality tea leaves with good color and flavor.

The higher the altitude, the greater the fluctuations between cold and hot temperatures resulting in delicious tea!

A Rare Cultivar: Koshun

"Koshun" in Chinese characters is 香駿 which means "aroma" and "Shizuoka", and that would be the most straightforward and most concise explanation for this cultivar.
This cultivar was bred with the mixture of Kurasawa and Kanayamidori in the Shizuoka region and is characterized by its herbal and fruity aroma.
Our producer enjoys it because it is an attractive color with a slightly sweet aftertaste.

It's time to make matcha! Spoon two chashaku scoops (1 tsp) into your matcha bowl or cup.

Add another 2-4 oz. water and whisk the tea in an M-shape motion until frothy. Enjoy!

Stone Milled

All Mizuba matcha is stone milled in Japan. This time-intensive process leads to a depth of flavor not found in conventional teas.
