Buy on AmazonIppodo'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.
