Meiko is our higher grade Matcha, meant for both usucha (thin tea) and culinary. This Matcha is richer in Matcha flavor and aroma, suitable for high-end cafe and restaurants, or individual who wants to make food with high grade Matcha.
Meiko is produced from tea leaf grown in the famous Uji region. Meiko not only has higher umami sweetness and good aroma, it also has deeper flavor, making it suitable for food preparation.
On the other hand, it can be used to prepare usucha (thin tea) as well because of higher sweetness.
How is this Matcha different from other Matcha such as Kazumi and Daily Matcha?
Meiko is higher grade than Kazumi, Meiko has better umami sweetness and more mellow aroma as compared to Kazumi. But compare to our Daily Matcha, Meiko is lower grade.
Can I use this to make thin tea (Usucha) ?
Yes. This Matcha is recommended for usucha in many famous Japanese Matcha stores.
