Generic Marukyu Koyamaen Isuzu Ceremonial Matcha Powder — 40g Can, Uji Kyoto Origin, Fine Stone-Ground

Marukyu Koyamaen Isuzu Ceremonial Matcha is a premium Uji, Kyoto–grown powdered green tea crafted for traditional ceremonies and everyday frothy lattes.

Harvested and stone-ground in the Uji region of Kyoto, this 40 g can of ceremonial matcha delivers the vivid green color, smooth texture, and savory umami that characterize high-quality Japanese matcha. Packaged in a resealable can to keep freshness and aroma, the powder is fine and intended for thin tea (usucha) or for whisked lattes. It balances approachability and authenticity, making it suitable for both newcomers and tea professionals who want a reliable, traditional matcha for frequent use.

How do I prepare Marukyu Koyamaen Isuzu for a traditional usucha?

To make a proper thin tea (usucha), sift the matcha to remove clumps, add about 1–2 grams of powder to your bowl, then whisk with ~60–80 ml of hot water (around 70–80°C) until frothy. Use a bamboo whisk (chasen) in quick, light strokes for a smooth, even foam.

• Sift 1–2 g matcha into the bowl to avoid lumps
• Pour 60–80 ml water at 70–80°C for balanced flavor
• Whisk briskly for 15–30 seconds to create a fine foam
• Serve immediately to enjoy peak aroma and color

Can I use this matcha for lattes and recipes?

Yes — its bright color and mellow umami suit both hot and iced matcha lattes as well as smoothies and baking recipes. For lattes, whisk the matcha with a small amount of hot water first, then combine with steamed milk or a dairy-free alternative and sweetener to taste.

• Whisk with a splash of hot water before adding milk to avoid clumps
• Use 1–2 g matcha per 200–250 ml beverage for balanced flavor
• Adjust sweetness and milk type for a personalized latte
• Works well in shakes, desserts, and matcha-based sauces

How should I store the 40 g can to preserve freshness?

Keep the can sealed and stored in a cool, dry place away from strong odors and direct sunlight to prevent oxidation and flavor loss. For longer-term storage, refrigerate in an airtight container, but allow the matcha to return to room temperature before opening to avoid condensation.

• Reseal the can tightly after each use to lock in aroma
• Avoid heat, humidity, and strong-smelling foods nearby
• Optionally refrigerate in an airtight container for extended freshness
• Return to room temperature before opening refrigerated product

What makes this matcha a ceremonial grade choice?

Its origin in Uji, Kyoto — a region renowned for premium tea — plus careful shading and fine stone-grinding produce the vivid color and delicate umami typical of ceremonial grade. The texture is intentionally fine for smooth whisking and a refined mouthfeel, suitable for tea ceremony use or professional preparation.

• Grown and processed with traditional Uji methods for authentic flavor
• Fine grind for easy whisking and consistent foam
• Bright green hue and balanced savory notes expected of ceremonial grade
