Is this a kocha?

No, it’s some larger leaves mixed with a lot of smaller bits of leaf and some dust. (By kocha, you mean formed tea, like a powder that looks like leaves, right?)

@Shinobicha – No, I mean the rare Japanese black tea oxidized from green tea varietals.

Oh – well, then, I apologize for speaking, since I don’t know the word “kocha” (I assumed you meant “koicha”)

Oh, no worries! I just learned of its existence, like, three months ago. I only know of one vendor at the moment that has it and was wondering if this was the same. And, yeah, “koicha” is the thick matcha grade, if I’m not mistaken…but do feel free to correct me. I are novice.

Haha, you are right, koicha is thick matcha. I am thinking of some other word that I can’t remember, but it means ‘formed tea’ in Japanese.
