Description Yamane-en Matcha – Ikegami | Premium Barista Grade This matcha has a pleasant bitterness balanced out by umami and creaminess. The aftertaste is fragrant and rich. We especially recommend this for premium matcha lattes. When enjoyed as a latte the bitterness helps the flavour stand out against the milk and you end up with a very refreshing, creamy, and flavorful matcha latte.
