Whisks amazingly and so delicious in a latte!
whisks beautifully! made one for my matcha-hating friend and it turned her!! she drinks matcha now but only this tin specifically :)
I absolutely LOVED how refreshing and umami this matcha was as an usucha. it is amongst the very few matcha powders I use to make usuchas out of instead of just lattes as it is just that good and is not bitter at all. As a latte it has a little hint of sweetness as well and goes very well with oat milk 😍.

Yamada Chaya Koharu no Shiro Matcha – 40g Tin
One of the best tasting matcha I’ve tried so far, whisks beautifully and is so delicious in a latte
So glad I came across these! Both taste great, I enjoy making matcha latte with them. I have tried other matcha but they weren't as good as Yamada Chaya's matcha. I am no food and drink critic but I can definitely taste the difference between the premium quality matcha. Definitely worth every penny. Will be buying again.

Slideshow
Why drink matcha?
- Whole-leaf benefit: tea leaves are powdered to preserve every nutrient, not just an infusion
- Shade-grown for enhanced umami, chlorophyll, L-theanine, and antioxidants
- High in catechins (like EGCG), rutin, vitamin C- key for cell protection and vitality
- Delivers focused calm: L-theanine + caffeine offer alert relaxation without the crash
- Natural detox support via chlorophyll: helps promote liver and immune function
- Moderate caffeine: less than coffee, more than brewed tea
At Yamada Chaya, we believe matcha is the pinnacle of green tea.
Which is why we source only the finest matcha powders, straight from the tea fields of Uji, Japan to your cup.
