HOT ! Emerald Emperor - Royal Ceremonial Matcha

Single-origin ceremonial matcha with light bitterness. Gokou (cultivar) tea leaves, first harvest. Stone-milled direct from Wazuka, Japan.

Mellow. Creamy. Clean Satisfying Finish.

The flavour is mellow and smooth with strong green tea notes and a rich savoury quality. In the matcha world, that savoury taste is umami — think of it like the richness you get from a good broth or aged cheese, but in tea form. It\'s subtle, not overpowering.

There\'s no sharp nor harshness. Instead an agreeable light bitter-astringency (that dry, mouth-puckering feeling) flavour, that when combined with umami notes, makes Emerald Emperor satisfying to drink as a traditional tea.

The texture is creamy and smooth when whisked with hot water. The colour is a deep, vivid green.

Tasting notes: Strong green tea. Rich savoury (umami) notes. Subtle sweetness. Hints of dried floral. Clean finish.

Body: Medium — creamy and smooth, with an aura to hold your attention.

Bitterness: Light but satisfying. It\'s a bitterness you can enjoy.
