Description:
Kin no Uzu is a pleasantly mild, creamy, tea flavor profile, and a delightful choice for curious newcomers to tea as an exercise in palate development. Its flavor features bitter and tart notes in the background; and while these don’t stand out fully, they are harmoniously embedded in the whole.
The meaning of Kin no Uzu "金の渦" is as follows:
"Kin" means "gold", and "uzu" can refer to swirls, whirlpools, and vortexes.
Preparation Guide
STEP 1) Put 2g (0.4 US tsp, 1 teaspoon or 2 chashaku scoop) matcha powder into a Chawan.
STEP 2) Pour 70 ml (2.4 fl oz) water between 70-80℃ (176°F) over the matcha powder.
STEP 3) Whisk with a chasen (tea whisk) until foamy.
❖ Before Step 1, Warm your tea bowl. To. do this, pour hot water in it, then discard all the water and (optional) wipe the bowl dry with a cloth. If you skip this step, your warm water could cool down too quickly as the bowl absorbs the heat, which could turn the matcha bitter.
❖ Sift your matcha powder. (Strongly recommended) Matcha clots easily in water. To prevent this, sift the powder through a fine sifter.
❖ When your matcha is ready, drink it immediately, because as it cools down it might turn bitter. (Recommended)
❖ When it comes to matcha, the fresher the better. We recommend consuming it within a month after opening, and storing it in an airtight container in the fridge.
EXTRA TIP
❖ Try iced matcha: pour the finished matcha over ice.
