Specification:

  • Origins : Fukuoka, Yame, Japan ( single estate )
  • Flavour notes: spinach, grass, seaweed
  • Harvested : May 2024
  • Quality of service : No. 4 out of 5 qualities for "thin tea"

Hoshino Seichaen produces 5 quality levels of matcha tea to "thin" tea. The 5 quality levels differ in taste and the intensity of the green colour. The finest quality has the least bitterness and the most intense green colour. The lower the quality the more bitters, not to be confused with unpleasant bitters in a poor quality tea, and none of the teas from Hoshino are of low quality, therefore no unpleasant bitters. The bitters in Hoshino matcha are finely balanced, and in some teas only add flavour and body. This matcha is suitable for what is called "thin" tea, which is still a full-bodied tea with a creamy foam on top.

Hoshinotsuyu is number 4 on the quality barometer, the second best. The flavour is mild and the texture is creamy. In the aftertaste you can detect grass and seaweed and a mild mineral flavour. This matcha has a slightly mild bitterness, which also contributes to the flavour.

Serve a small sweet cake or some dried fruit with the tea. In Japan, you'll find an impressive range of matcha sweets. These are often made from sweetened bean paste or sweetened rice.
Store in a dry and cool place.
