KITSUNE MATCHA / Ceremonial Grade Uji Matcha


Kitsune Matcha is our Signature Matcha, made from a blend of tencha that has been aged for at least 6 months to round out their flavour and bring out depth of flavour only possible by aging. 

As a first flush matcha, this blend offers a smooth balance of astringency, bright vegetal notes and slight notes of hazelnuts & almond, making it a great option for a newcomers to matcha, as well as for a daily drinker, whether you like it as Usucha, Pure Matcha or Cold Whisked/Latte.

Name: Kitsune Matcha
Cultivar: Blend (Okumidori, Samidori, Yabukita, Ujimidori)
Harvest: 2025 Aged Tencha
Origin: Blend, Uji + Wazuka 
Producer: Uji, Kyoto

 

Tasting Notes:

  • - Rich Umami
    - Bright vegetal sweetness
    - Notes of hazelnuts & toasted almond
    - High astringency in cold whisked milk

 

How We Like It

  • Pure Matcha (straight matcha): clean, balanced, easy to drink
  • Usucha
  • Matcha latte / Cold Whisk: cuts through milk nicely without losing character
  • Oat milk / fresh milk: both work well, depending on how creamy you want it

 

Available Format

30g / 100g


Brewing:

Usucha (Thin Matcha)

  1. Sift Matcha: Use 2 g (0.07 oz) of matcha powder, equivalent to 1.5 heaping tea ladles or 1 level teaspoon.
  2. Add Hot Water: Pour 70 mL (2 oz) of hot water at a temperature of about 80°C (176°F). To achieve this, first pour boiling water into a teacup to cool it down to the desired temperature, then pour it into the tea bowl.
  3. Whisk: Vigorously whisk the mixture for about 15 seconds, making an "M" shape with the whisk. This creates a light, frothy layer on top of the tea
  4. Enjoy: Savour the matcha together with sweets, traditionally Wagashi, but we recommend even with local nyonya kuih!

Iced Matcha

  1. Sift Matcha: Sift 3 grams of matcha powder into a bowl to remove lumps.
  2. Whisk with Water: Add 60 mL of hot water (around 80°C) and whisk until smooth and frothy.
  3. Sweeten: Optionally, add sweetener to taste and whisk to combine.
  4. Ice it: Fill a glass with ice and pour the matcha over it.
  5. Serve: Enjoy the refreshing iced matcha immediately.
