Tasting Notes:
citron • buttered spinach • sweet pea

Kinrin is one of our higher grades of ceremonial matcha. Whisked in the traditional style, this matcha becomes light and fluffy, with flavors of citrus, buttered spinach and sweet peas. A softer, creamier version of Isuzu, with lingering sweetness and complexity.

We source our matcha from Marukyu Koyamaen, a highly regarded tea grower, procurer, and tea blender whose private tea estate, located in the heart of Uji, Kyoto, has a rich history dating back to 1704. Koyamaen has strict quality control systems in place that target a wide variety of issues that can affect the quality, taste, and characteristics of their tea: Teas are kept fresh using a unique drying system that reduces moisture in the leaf to an incredibly low level which is verified by an infrared optical moisture meter. Since a vibrant color is essential to the matcha experience, a colorimeter is utilized to ensure that the matcha has a naturally vibrant hue. Finally, the particle size of the matcha is strictly controlled which ensures each particle is fine enough to deliver an easy-to-blend, smooth-tasting beverage.

Ingredients: Camellia sinensis leaves. Caffeinated
