Marukyu Koyamaen Isuzu 五十鈴 Matcha Powder
Marukyu Koyamaen Isuzu 五十鈴 is a ceremonial matcha from one of Japan's most respected tea producers. Known for its fuller body, deeper umami, and smooth, rounded character, Isuzu is a strong choice for matcha drinkers who prefer depth and balance over sharper, brighter profiles.
