Shirakawa Matcha

170.00 NIS

Indulge in the everyday luxury of Shirakawa Matcha from award-winning producer Kiyoharu Tsuji.

You've grown to love his revered single-cultivar collection that sells out every year, but now we're thrilled to announce Mizuba and Tsuji-san worked together to bring you an offering meant to be enjoyed on a daily basis.

Hand-harvested and expertly blended from Samidori and Gokou cultivars, this matcha is just as vibrant and expressive as Tsuji-san's single-cultivar teas, but with a flavor profile that's more versatile for everyday use. Shirakawa is equally delicious as a traditional whisked tea, or in a luxurious latte.

How to brew:

Warm your chawan tea bowl with hot water. Place 1.5-2g of Shirakawa 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 to your koicha, and whisk with your chasen until the tea is fully aerated to make usucha. Enjoy!
