Ippodo - Nodoka Special Spring Matcha 20g

Nodoka, which is Japanese for “serenity,” was named after the bright, warm feeling we get once the days start getting longer in spring.

Nodoka has medium richness, you’ll notice its fragrance is fresh and dew-like, wafting up from the bowl. Take a sip, and you’ll taste a note of astringency followed soon by layers of sweetness and umami. 

As koicha, this matcha’s nuances are much more prominent, and you can fully appreciate its balance of umami, astringency, and fragrance. In a matcha latte, its mild astringency pairs well with the milk, producing a mellow drink with more umami than our lighter blends.
