From Ippodo

Ikuyo is a medium-bodied matcha with a refreshing bitterness that is slightly more noticeable than its sweetness and umami.

TASTE NOTES
Ikuyo is a balanced matcha with astringency, umami, and sweetness in proportion. Its medium-light body is joined by a gentle, but bright aroma, like sun-dried straw. As usucha, it is a good option for everyday teatime, served straight and with cookies, cakes, or other sweets. One of our top recommendations for a matcha latte, Ikuyo has slight astringency that pairs well with the milk, and its bright green color makes for a photogenic beverage.

In my recent obsession with Matcha, I’ve tried probably a dozen varieties in under 6 months. Nothing can approach the value per gram IMHO. Traditional, hot latte, and cold latte preparations go over really well. Though admittedly, my tastes tend towards a ‘demi-latte’, taking the edge off with a tablespoon of cream and a teaspoon or two of sugar. Blasphemous, perhaps, but also delicious!

Makes a nearly perfect bowl of usucha – wonderfully fragrant blend of sweetness and umami. As koicha, the taste is slightly one-dimensional toward the sweetness.
