Rich & Robust

Try Ummon if you enjoy premium matcha with a powerful character. Ummon has been a popular high-class matcha in Ippodo Tea’s offering for decades.

Character: robust and powerful umami, complexity, and energetic fragrance. Light, pleasant astringency adds nuance to its impact.

• When preparing your matcha, sift the dry powder right before adding water. Sifted matcha is easier to whisk fully in a short time.
• Whisk for seconds, not minutes. Whisking for very long can produce a bitter taste.
• Nothing beats the chasen. The classic bamboo whisk (chasen) made for whisking matcha has many fine tips. This allows you to whisk up fragrant and well-mixed matcha drinks.
• Sip and relax. Matcha tea is essentially tiny tea leaves mixed with water, so enjoy it before the leaves separate from the water.
• Find your favorite taste: Experiment when making matcha by trying different ratios of water to matcha and water temperatures.
• Temperature and flavor: Scalding hot water produces fragrance and sharpness. Cold water produces a misty, rich character with low foam. Comfortably hot water makes a balanced character.
• Make it a latte: Add your favorite milk to matcha whisked with water. Adjust the ratios and experiment to find your favorite taste.
