Matsu is a refined ceremonial matcha with a beautifully balanced profile. It offers rich umami supported by mellow natural sweetness, a silky mouthfeel and fresh vegetal aromas, finishing clean with only the faintest hint of bitterness. Delicate notes of sweet corn, fresh greens and subtle nuttiness give it an elegant depth, making it equally enjoyable as usucha or koicha.
