Koicha Zuihou by Kanbayashi Shunsho A velvety, full-bodied koicha (thick tea) with smooth and mellow flavors, a creamy, sweet aftertaste and a refreshing finish. When made as usucha (thin tea), it becomes a lighter, sweeter, and creamier tea with a rich, lasting fullness. |

Matcha Shimizuoto by Maruyasu Shimizuoto is a light-bodied and sweet usucha without any bitterness. It is mellow and beautifully balanced, yet still full of character thanks to its distinct toasty notes. It is a calming-relaxing tea where the aroma of hazelnut cream is taking the main role. It leaves a pleasant and lasting sweetness and creamy-buttery feel in the mouth. |

| An ideal addition for professional kitchens, our Culinary Hojicha Powder is a roasted green tea powder produced in Shiga, Japan, that imbues a refreshing roasted-tea flavor and pleasant aroma to baked goods and lattes. | Similar to matcha, gyokuro powder is made from shaded tea leaves—like tencha, the base for matcha—but the processing after harvest is what sets it apart. The leaves are carefully rolled and cut, preserving the depth and richness that make gyokuro so special. | This vibrant pink powder, made from Japanese cherry blossoms, adds a touch of both beauty and flavor! Enjoy it as a latte, or let your creativity flow—perfect for stunning home-made chocolate, soft drinks and cocktails. | This brilliant blue powder is made of butterfly-pea flowers. The flavor is subtle and mellow and a tiny bit toasty like freshly baked potatoes. Its flavor in drinks is gentle, not at all overpowering. Mixed with acidic ingredients - like lemon juice -, it turns into a stunning deep purple or pink color. |
