ResearchedCeremonial — Formal KoichaBest for Usucha

Tancho

by Horaido蓬莱堂茶舗

抹茶 丹頂丹頂

A top-tier Horaido matcha for both koicha and usucha. The official Japanese page places it just under Miyako no Mukashi, noting a very soft, 'sweet' usucha profile while intentionally leaving a touch more bitterness than the flagship grade.

Editorial verdict

A premium koicha/usucha choice for drinkers who want sweetness with a slightly firmer edge.
