Itoen Biologische Katekin Groene Thee Poeder 40 g

Opened the bag and the powder is so fine it almost floats before hitting the water. One spoonful in hot water gives that deep, grassy umami I usually only get from a fancy tea house, and knowing it’s from Kagoshima farmers makes the morning cup feel a bit more special.

The fine powder dissolves completely in hot water with no clumps, and the deep, vegetal taste is noticeably fresher than bagged green tea. A single teaspoon gives me a smooth energy boost that lasts through my afternoon slump without any jitters.

I’ve been adding half a teaspoon to my morning hot water and it dissolves almost instantly—no clumps at all. The flavor is smooth and earthy, not bitter like some matchas I’ve tried.
