Latte Matcha Bundle
TezumiMoegi: Snappy and refreshing, this Yame matcha can whisk up into a bracing usucha and has a strong, punchy flavour that cuts through milk for an energising latte or a vibrant mixed drink. Moegi (萌黄) translates to bud green.
Wakatake: With a full body and refreshing finish, this vibrant Yame matcha shines in a classic latte and its subtle nuttiness can be appreciated in a straight usucha. Wakatake (若竹) means "Young Bamboo"
