Kurasu Blend Matcha, Kurasu's original blend of ceremonial grade matcha for an authentic, Kyoto cafe-style matcha drink with full, rich umami, flavour and aroma. Enjoy it on its own as usucha (thin tea) for its rich bitterness, umami and natural sweetness, or sweeten it for your perfect matcha latte; its flavour shines through milk or espresso.
The matcha is farmed and picked in the Kansai area and processed in Kyoto, blended to give a consistent, authentic matcha experience throughout the year. The variety and origin used in the blend may change with the season and availability, so flavour may vary slightly between batches. 100% matcha green tea powder, with no sugar.
Also see the Kurasu Hojicha Powder. Pairs well with our Takayama Black Bamboo Matcha Whisk and Oyanagi Chashaku Matcha Scoop.
