Yūgen is a Kyoto based Japanese tea and matcha brand inspired by quiet beauty, mindfulness, and authentic tea culture.

Working closely with local producers, Yūgen specialises in high quality Uji tea while sharing Kyoto’s tea craftsmanship with a global audience.

Matcha #1 blend brings together a rich aroma, refined umami, and a delicate hint of astringency that gives the whole cup structure. This matcha expresses its character fully without overpowering the sweetness of the accompanying confection. Its smoothness on the palate, followed by a clean and graceful finish, quietly reflects the refined character of this blend. 

How to Prepare

1. Sift the matcha (preparation)

Because matcha can easily form lumps due to static, it is important to sift it beforehand for a smooth finish. You may sift it just before use, or prepare a larger amount in advance and store it in an airtight container.

2. Prepare a concentrated matcha base

Place the matcha and hot water in a katakuchi matcha bowl, then whisk well with a bamboo whisk until a fine foam forms. Add the sugar afterward.

*If you do not have a bamboo whisk, add the matcha, sugar, and hot water to a cup and mix thoroughly with a whisk until no lumps remain.

3. Add the milk

Pour warm milk into the cup, or pour cold milk over ice in a glass, then add the matcha base from Step 2. Stir gently to combine.

Tasting Notes

This matcha boasts a delicate, smooth umami flavour with natural sweetness and a refreshing, non bitter finish.
