YAMASAN KYOTO UJI Matcha Green Tea Powder with Cherry Blossom Tea, Japanese Drinks, Japanese Food, Culinary Grade (100g)

About this item

• Cherry blossoms and green tea are two elements symbolizing a Japanese tradition that the Japanese have loved for centuries.
• We have carefully selected the leaves of Izu cherry blossom “Oshimazakura” as they have a good aroma. After picking, the leaves are dried immediately and then ground with a stone mill and mixed with Japanese Matcha, which is rich in umami and has a bright green color. No artificial fragrances are used.
• Oshizakura is an edible cherry rich in coumarin. Coumarin is a type of vegetable flavouring contained in cherry leaves. The aroma of salted cherry leaves in cherry blossom tea and cherry rice cakes from natural oshizakura is due to coumarin.
• Sakura and Matcha are an exquisite blend that combines the refreshing scent of Sakura cherry blossoms and the elegant taste of matcha. This ensures a good mood and awakens memories of Japan. The old name of the Sakura cherry blossoms is “Konohana”. From the Heian to the Edo period, “flowers = sakura cherry blossoms”, and sakura has always been of great importance to the Japanese.
• Enjoy this sakura matcha the traditional way by whipping it up in a matcha bowl. Or prepare it as a cold matcha with different matcha drink recipes. You can also enjoy it by sprinkling it on a dish as a topping or mixing it with different dishes as a condiment. It is also perfect for making matcha candy or other confectionery.
