Ippodo Tea Matcha - Hatsu 20g Ceremonial Japanese Matcha Powder
Product Description
With its fresh astringency and light presence, Hatsu is a good choice for simple everyday drinking, baking, lattes, and other uses.
Taste Notes
Hatsu is the lightest character blend in our regular matcha lineup. Its taste is highlighted by astringency and a short aftertaste, and it has a refreshingly sharp personality when prepared straight as usucha. With a soft green color, it can also be a smart choice for people who enjoy using matcha in baking or in making lattes.
