Wakaki

by Ippodo一保堂

Ippodo's most accessible ceremonial-grade Uji matcha. Light-bodied with noticeable astringency, a hint of sweetness, and a short refreshing finish. The soft fragrance and crisp character make it well suited to lattes, smoothies, and baking, where its bright green colour and clean bitterness add contrast.

Editorial verdict

Ippodo's entry point — /bin/bash.55/g makes it an exceptional value for lattes, cooking, or simply getting familiar with proper Japanese stone-milled matcha. Not intended for koicha.
