Matcha Powder Yuraku (Uji)

Yuraku is a ceremonial matcha powder from Uji, Kyoto, produced by Wakokoro Tea. This matcha has been developed for flexibility in preparation and is suitable for both usucha (thin tea) and koicha (thick tea).

The flavour is balanced, with a gentle umami and a light natural sweetness. Bitterness and astringency are minimal, ensuring the matcha remains accessible and pleasant to drink, even with regular consumption.

The texture is fine and even, ensuring consistent preparation. The aroma reveals a fresh, light note that complements the matcha’s clean character.

The bright green colour is characteristic of carefully processed matcha from Uji, a region renowned for its consistent quality and craftsmanship.

Yuraku is ideal for those seeking a versatile matcha that adapts easily to different preparation methods, without compromising on balance and smoothness.

Store your matcha in an airtight, opaque container and keep it in the fridge to preserve its vibrant colour and rich umami flavour. To prevent condensation, which can affect the quality, always allow the cold container to come to room temperature for 15 minutes before opening. For optimal freshness, it is best to consume the matcha within 1 to 2 months of opening.
