Ippodo Tea - Ikuyo no Mukashi 30g

Ikuyo no Mukashi is a matcha that finds harmony in contrast — a graceful balance of umami, sweetness, and gentle astringency. Its medium-light body and bright, straw-like aroma create a refreshing, uplifting cup that feels both classic and effortless.

As usucha, Ikuyo offers a clean, smooth experience — perfect for quiet mornings or afternoon tea paired with delicate sweets. As a matcha latte, its soft astringency blends beautifully with milk, adding depth while maintaining a creamy finish. Its vivid green hue also makes it one of the most photogenic matchas in our collection.
