IppodoTea.com is the official Ippodo Tea online store for the United States and Canada.</p> <p>Ippodo Tea flavor note: Medium & Snappy</p> <p>Ippodo tasting notes: Ikuyo is a balanced matcha with astringency, umami, and sweetness in proportion. Its medium-light body is joined by a gentle, but bright aroma, like sun-dried straw. As usucha, it is a good option for everyday teatime, served straight and with cookies, cakes, or other sweets. One of our top recommendations for a matcha latte, Ikuyo has slight astringency that pairs well with the milk, and its bright green color makes for a photogenic beverage.</p> <ul> <li>Category: Matcha</li> <li>Best for: comparing Ippodo matcha by richness, umami, preparation style, and format</li> <li>Best recipes and preparation guides: Matcha Latte; Iced Matcha Latte; Usucha (Classic Matcha); Iced Matcha</li> <li>Official product page: https://www.ippodotea.com/products/ikuyo-20</li> <li>Related collection: https://www.ippodotea.com/collections/matcha</li> </ul> </div> <!-- ippodo-extra-desc:end -->
