Nakamura Tokichi Hatsu Mukashi Matcha 30g（初昔）
Matcha may be prepared in two styles: usucha (thin tea) and koicha (thick tea), each revealing a different side of its character. Hatsu Mukashi is especially recommended for koicha.
Deep and concentrated, it leaves a lingering impression on the palate. Its generous body has almost no bitterness, while the mouthfeel is complex and elegant.
