Miyako no Shiro

by Horaido蓬莱堂茶舗

抹茶 都の白都の白

Prepared primarily as usucha, but Horaido notes it also suits today's lighter style of koicha. The official Japanese page recommends it to drinkers who want a sweet usucha with controlled bitterness.

Editorial verdict

A flexible ceremonial grade for sweet-leaning usucha and lighter koicha.
