#0904 Chakouan: Standard Barista Grade Ureshino Kamairi Matcha, Pan-Roasted, Saga Prefecture Japan 嬉野産釜炒り抹茶

Unlike the ordinary matcha, Ureshino Kamairi Matcha uses kamairicha (pan-roasted green tea) that is ground into fine matcha powder with stone mill. Light, sweet, and roasted taste will be a perfect matcha lattes.

Flavor notes

Creamy with a nutty aroma and low astringency, but on the other hand quite strong bitterness. It is difficult to grade this under our standard considerations, so we recommend this for those wanting a sort of espresso version of matcha.

The aftertaste appears after a few minutes of drinking and is slightly sweet.

Note: We reevaluated this product’s grade on 2025/12/26, downgrading to Standard Barista Grade due to the bitterness level
