Matcha is Ground from shade-cultivated tea leaves, and rich in theanine, an amino acid responsible for matcha's full-bodied mellow sweetness, which is called umami in Japan. Generally, the higher the grade, the richer the umami taste.
For those who prefer a lighter, more refreshing taste with a noticeable astringency, Enishi-no-shiro is an excellent choice. Best prepared as the thinner usucha.
This matcha was named by Jimyosai-sosho XIV, the great grand master of the Omote-Senke family of tea masters.
