Isuzu is a Japanese ceremonial matcha from Marukyu Koyamaen, stone-ground from shade-grown tencha leaves in Uji, Kyoto. Sitting a step above Aoarashi in the range, it brings more refinement to the cup: a smoother texture and greater depth that rewards careful preparation.
Well suited to daily drinkers who want something more considered, Isuzu holds its own in a latte but is most at home as a simple usucha.
How to brew (usucha) Sift 1.5–2g (approximately ½ tsp) into your bowl. Add 60–70ml of water at 70–80°C. Whisk in a brisk W motion until frothy. Drink immediately.
How to brew (matcha latte) Whisk 2–3g with a small amount of hot water to form a paste, then add steamed or cold milk of your choice.
About this product Available in 40g Can, 100g Bag, and 100g Can. Sourced from Japan and shipped from Australia. One of Japan's oldest tea houses, Marukyu Koyamaen has been crafting matcha in Uji, Kyoto since 1704.
