NIKO NEKO - AJISAI 2.0 / Matcha Powder

AJISAI portrays the holistic matrimony of Sayamakaori and Yabukita Japanese tea cultivars.

Grown in the heart of Yame, in subtropical Kyushu, the southernmost island of Japan, expect to be warmly welcomed by the angelic symphony of toasted soybean-like notes and fragrant pistachio nuttiness. Silken by a mild savoury umami gloss, this creamy medium-bodied mouthfeel seeps away with a touch of lingering bitterness.

[ FAQ ]

1. Can I use a spoon to mix matcha powder?

We do not recommend using a spoon as the matcha powder will not dissolve. To ensure the matcha powder is fully dissolved in the liquid, please use the proper tea tools such as a bamboo whisk or electric mixer.

2. How many cups of matcha should I drink a day?

It is recommended to drink not more than 3 cups a day.

3. Does Matcha contain caffeine?

Matcha generally contains one-third the amount of caffeine in coffee. For those who are looking for alternatives to coffee with less caffeine, try drinking matcha!
