Izumi No Shiro 泉の白 │ Matcha │ Shogyokuen

Iwai No Shiro is a flexible matcha, comparable to Marukyu Koyamaen's Yugen. Its strong matcha taste, velvety consistency, and "frothability" make it an excellent choice for light (usucha) matcha or creating lattes and sparkling beverages. NOTE. Shogyokuen recently updated their tin color and design due to a shortage of tea tins.  The tins in your shipment may look different from those pictured here.  Please, know these tins are authentic.   PREPARATION STEP 1. Add matcha powder ( 2g / 1 tsp / 2 chashaku scoops) into a suitable tea bowl.STEP 2. Pour 70 ml / 2.4 oz of water 75℃ / 167°F water over the matcha powder.STEP 3. Whisk with a tea whish (chasen) until foamy.
