How to Enjoy

Usucha: Sift 2g of matcha, add 60ml hot water around 80°C / 176°F, and whisk until smooth and lightly frothy. This is the best way to enjoy MURASAKINO’s sweetness and gentle umami.

Matcha Latte: MURASAKINO can be used for a premium latte, but its refined taste is better appreciated as pure tea rather than mixed with milk.
