Matcha Karigane Pinnacle

We would like to send you a small gift, Matcha Karigane Pinnacle as a token of our gratitude.Matcha Karigane has a unique noble flavor because it is made from the veins and stems of Tencha, which is used to make Matcha. However, even in Japan, Matcha Karigane is difficult to find, because procuring the veins and stems of Tencha and then creating the Matcha Karigane can be a complicated process. Therefore its noble flavor is not well-known even in Japan. We carefully roasted the veins and stems of the Tencha in order to bring out its special noble flavor.We have arranged Matcha Karigane Pinnacle only for this anniversary. Would you please enjoy this unique noble flavor and roasted aroma?
(How to enjoy Matcha Karigane Pinnacle)
for two cups
- Tea leaves: 1.5 to 2 table spoons (8-10g)
- Water temperature: 176F (80C)
- Amount of water: 200cc
