Description

Kinrin is “entry-level” matcha in the Koyamaen koicha tea portfolio: it is the least expensive variety in a line-up suited for making “thick” matcha tea. Preparing the Kinrin as koicha is gateway to the myriad delights of thick tea, albeit in Kinrin matcha still accented by slightly tart notes that disappear in more premium koichas. Preparing Kinrin as usucha, on the other hand, impresses with a soft, creamy, grassy flavors in a league of their own compared with matcha varieties lower down the tea portfolio listing.
