Description

This delicious single-cultivar matcha from Yame is Nakayama san's bestseller. Crafted from first-flush harvest in May, RIKU is a high-grade matcha made to be enjoyed both straight and in latte.

Made with Saemidori cultivar, RIKU is packed with caffeine and catechins, and we love its lack of bitterness, sweet smooth taste and mouth-watering flavor with nutty tones. It reflects the long experience of Nakayama san's family with making Yame matcha.

Nakayama san calls RIKU "perfect for those who truly care about their matcha lattes. Expertly crafted to achieve the perfect balance of sweetness, bitterness, aroma, and umami, making it a perfect match for milk."

Nakayama san recommends to use 5g per serving for a latte with an intense and rewarding matcha time experience.

You can also also use this RIKU for your Usucha matcha with 2-3g per serving.
