Marukyu Koyamaen Matcha - Choan Ceremonial Japanese Matcha Powder
Choan Matcha
"Choan" is a matcha of exceptional softness and smoothness, offering a refined and delicate flavour. Its unique, elegant aroma invites you to savour it at a leisurely pace, making it an ideal choice for moments of quiet reflection. When preparing as usucha (light tea), it is recommended to whisk it slightly thicker to fully appreciate its rich and nuanced taste.
About Marukyu Koyamaen
Marukyu Koyamaen's history dates back to the Genroku era, when the first-generation Koyama Kujiro established a tea garden. Four generations later, the family began retailing their tea, and by the eighth generation, they expanded their distribution nationwide. With over 300 years of history, Marukyu Koyamaen remains committed to "tea-making with a focus on quality." They maintain strict standards for flavour and safety, overseeing the entire process from cultivation to production in-house. Consistently striving for excellence, they regularly participate in tea competitions and have been honoured numerous times with the prestigious Minister of Agriculture, Forestry and Fisheries Award.
