Ingredients

Japanese Matcha Green Tea

Ummon is our richest, most full-forced matcha blend from our year-round selection. Its aroma is sweet and lush like a misty evergreen forest, and its taste is full of powerful umami and sweetness. We recommended trying this matcha as koicha to experience the full depth and nuances of its character. As usucha, Ummon is aromatic, with a long, beautiful finish. For matcha lattes, we usually recommend a medium-to-light category matcha with more astringency, but some will choose Ummon, for its brilliant color and its full-body umami. In essence, this is a tea for people who truly love matcha.

Tasting Notes

1.	RICH / Fatty / BOLD
2.	Sweet / Velvety Smooth
3.	Zero Bitterness
4.	Earth / Creamy
5.	This is by far my favorite Matcha yet! I’m sure I will have many more favorites, but at this moment in time around the sun this is my JAM! It’s definitely more of a splurge at $30 for a small tin of 20g, but I surely tasted the difference. It was so rich and creamy with a nice sweetness and zero bitterness. I even tasted slight hints of spearmint. Very delicious and uplifting Matcha!
