Isuzu is a well-balanced ceremonial Uji matcha from Marukyu Koyamaen, characterised by a refreshing aroma, mellow umami, and a gentle bitterness that adds clarity. Stone-milled in Uji. Good for traditional thin tea (usucha) and also suited to lattes. A reliable everyday ceremonial grade, and a common recommendation for those learning proper matcha preparation.
