Ceremonial Matcha Yugen '又玄'

Best for Usucha • Koicha
Deep, umami-rich, and quietly complex — a refined bitterness sits beneath a smooth, full-bodied sweetness, unfolding into a long, lingering finish. Best appreciated straight, where its depth and structure can fully express.
A high-grade ceremonial matcha from Uji, Kyoto.

“Yūgen” (幽玄)
A concept rooted in traditional Japanese aesthetics — subtle, profound beauty that isn’t immediately obvious, but deeply felt.
The name reflects the matcha’s layered character: restrained on the surface, with depth that reveals itself slowly over time.

How to Drink it
Usucha (Thin Tea) 2g (60ml) for a balanced, expressive cup.
Also suited for Koicha (Thick Tea) 4g (30ml) to experience its full body and umami depth.
