Koushu Matcha by Hokoen
"Koushu" matcha is an ideal entry point into the world of refined and substantial usucha (thin tea). This full-bodied matcha offers a gently balanced, creamy, and slightly sweet flavour profile, with pronounced yet pleasantly mild notes. Unlike the "Eiraku" matcha, "Koushu" is richer and free from any tart or bitter undertones, making it a truly enjoyable experience for those who prefer a smoother cup. For the best taste, brew "Koushu" with water heated to at least 80°C.
The name "Koushu" ("晃秀") is imbued with deep meaning, where "晃" ("kou") signifies shining brightly under the sun, and "秀" ("shu") represents excellence. Together, these characters convey the idea of moving towards warmth and light, with the hope that those who enjoy this tea will be cherished and loved eternally, much like the radiance of the sun.
